Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even thickness of about 3/4 inch
  • 1 lb baby Yukon gold potatoes quartered or cut into sixths, pieces should be roughly the same size
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp Kinder's Buttery Steakhouse seasoning substitute with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and smoked paprika if needed
  • 3 tbsp butter for the honey glaze
  • 0.5 cup honey real honey preferred for best caramelization
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper for the glaze
  • 0.25 tsp salt for the glaze

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet
  • Aluminum foil
  • Small saucepan
  • Instant-read thermometer
  • Meat mallet or rolling pin

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add honey, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine, bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 3/4 inch. Cut potatoes into quarters or sixths, keeping all pieces close to the same size for even roasting.
  4. Place chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Arrange potatoes in a single layer around the chicken. Do not crowd the pan.
  5. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and Kinder's seasoning evenly over everything. Toss the potatoes to coat all sides well.
  6. Pour the honey glaze over the chicken only. Avoid getting heavy glaze on the potatoes to prevent burning.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the potatoes are fork-tender with golden edges. If the glaze darkens too quickly, loosely tent just the chicken with foil for the remaining bake time.

Notes

Apply honey glaze to the chicken only to prevent potatoes from burning. Pound chicken to even thickness for consistent cooking. Leftovers reheat best in a 350 degree F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Substitute Kinder's seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and smoked paprika if needed.
