Honey Garlic Chicken & Roasted Potatoes Bowl

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

½ teaspoon ground ginger

4 medium potatoes, diced

1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

(Tip: You'll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, lemon juice, and ground ginger to make the marinade for the chicken.

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for more flavor).

While the chicken marinates, prepare the potatoes. Toss the diced potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

Roast the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Assemble the bowl: place a generous serving of roasted potatoes in the bottom, top with sliced honey garlic chicken, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Serve warm and enjoy!

Variations

Vegetarian Version: Substitute the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas for a plant-based alternative.

Add Veggies: Toss some vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini into the roasted potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.

Spicy Twist: If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes or sriracha to the honey garlic marinade for a spicy kick.

Storage/Reheating

This dish stores well in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I recommend warming the chicken and potatoes in the microwave or in a skillet over medium heat. If the potatoes lose some of their crispiness, you can pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to get them nice and crispy again.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can marinate the chicken the night before and roast the potatoes in advance. Just reheat everything when you’re ready to assemble the bowl.

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?

Absolutely! Sweet potatoes would be a great substitute. They’ll add a slightly different flavor but will still pair wonderfully with the honey garlic chicken.

Can I make this recipe with boneless, skinless thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, boneless skinless chicken thighs would work just as well. They’re a little juicier and can add more flavor to the dish.

Can I use store-bought honey garlic sauce?

While store-bought honey garlic sauce can be used, I find that homemade marinade offers a fresher, more customized flavor. But if you’re short on time, store-bought is perfectly fine.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, simply swap out the soy sauce for a gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make the recipe gluten-free.

Conclusion

This honey garlic chicken and roasted potatoes bowl is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for a weeknight dinner or meal prepping for the week. The combination of tender, flavorful chicken with crispy roasted potatoes makes for a satisfying, balanced meal that I’m sure will quickly become a favorite in your rotation. Whether you keep it simple or customize with a few variations, it’s a dish that’s sure to impress!
