Ingredients
Honey Garlic Chicken
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 3 cloves garlic I use garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts if they are smaller you can use up to 6 of them, for larger chicken I cut the breast in half
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Potatoes
- 4 cups diced yukon gold potatoes 1" bite-sized chunks, peeled or unpeeled
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine the melted butter, olive oil, brown sugar, honey, dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, and basil. Mix together.
- Place the chicken breasts into a large bowl or Ziploc bag. Pour half of the marinade into it and let it sit in the fridge to marinate for 1-4 hours. Reserve the other half of the marinade for later.
- When chicken is done marinating heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Combine the chopped potatoes in a bowl and pour the olive oil, salt, and pepper over them. Stir together to coat the potatoes.
- Place chicken breasts down the middle of the pan and brush the reserved glaze over top. Then divide the potatoes and place on both sides of the chicken on the pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature of chicken is 165°.
- Turn oven to high broil and let broil for about 3 minutes until a nice color develops on the chicken and potatoes. Watch it closely because it can burn easily.
Notes
The salt and pepper is very adaptable in this recipe. You do want to use some for the chicken and potatoes to help the flavor. You don't have to use the amounts listed, that is what I have found tastes best. You can use as little or as much as you prefer.
If your chicken breasts are larger in size, you may want to cut them in half so they don't take forever to cook. There is enough marinade for 4-6 chicken breasts depending on the size of them.
I can get 6 servings out of this recipe because 3 of my kids will only eat half a chicken breast. Nutrition information is based on a serving size of 4 but I always feed my family of 6 with this recipe with no problems.
If you are trying to feed more, then know that the marinade will cover up to 6 chicken breasts as long as they are not the huge ones.
