Ingredients
  

For the Honey BBQ Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup honey

1/3 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes:

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken Marinade:

    - In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. This will be your marinade.

      Marinate the Chicken:

        - Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for more flavor).

          Cook the Potatoes:

            - While the chicken is marinating, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

              - In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

                - Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Allow to cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

                  - Add the cooked potatoes to the creamy sauce. Gently toss to combine and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.

                    Cook the Chicken:

                      - Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).

                        - Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If baking, place in a greased baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

                          - In the last few minutes of cooking, brush with additional BBQ sauce if desired.

                            Serve:

                              - Plate the Honey BBQ Chicken with a generous serving of Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness and color.

                                Enjoy your satisfying and healthy meal packed with protein!
