Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chicken:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Roasted Potatoes:

1 lb baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Honey Garlic Glaze:

3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Garnish:

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

How to Make It

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.

While the potatoes are roasting, let’s get started on the chicken!

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil heats up, season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Place the chicken in the skillet and let it sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. The goal is to get a nice crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy. Once seared, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Glaze

In the same pan, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—careful not to burn it! Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes, letting the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Bring it All Together

Return the seared chicken to the pan, coating it in the rich, sticky glaze. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze over the chicken to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

Once the potatoes are beautifully roasted, transfer them to the skillet, tossing them gently with the chicken and glaze. This allows the potatoes to soak up all that goodness!

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy every bite of this flavor-packed dish!

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (which is rare because it’s that good!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave with a splash of water to keep everything moist and flavorful.
