Print Recipe

Honey BBQ Chicken Potatoes bring together saucy chicken, golden roasted potatoes, and melty toppings for a cozy, sweet-smoky dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup honey BBQ sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cleaned and chopped into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving
  • Crispy fried onions

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes well, then cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Place the potatoes in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until coated.
  4. Arrange the potatoes in one layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway, until soft inside and browned outside.
  5. Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and blot them dry with paper towels.
  6. Add the chicken to a large bowl with 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, optional cayenne, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  7. Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until browned and the center reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Lower the heat, pour in the honey BBQ sauce, and stir until the chicken is coated. Let it bubble gently for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Add the roasted potatoes to the skillet and fold them into the saucy chicken.
  10. Scatter cheddar cheese over the top, cover the skillet, and let it melt for 1-2 minutes.
  11. Finish with green onions and crispy fried onions. Serve warm with sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.

Notes

  • Red potatoes or sweet potatoes can be used instead of Yukon Gold potatoes.
  • Use less cayenne for a mild dish, or add a little more for extra heat.
  • Choose a honey BBQ sauce you enjoy, since it shapes the main flavor.
  • Bell peppers, onions, or zucchini can roast alongside the potatoes.
  • Chicken thighs may be used instead of chicken breasts.
  • Smoked paprika adds a deeper BBQ-style flavor.
  • The potatoes can be roasted ahead and reheated before mixing with the chicken.
  • Keep leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with coleslaw or a simple side salad.
  • For crispier potatoes, soak the cubes in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them well before roasting.
  • Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or blue cheese can replace cheddar.
  • For a slow cooker version, cook the potatoes, chicken, and honey BBQ sauce on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • The chicken can also be grilled after marinating in honey BBQ sauce.
