Description
A comforting bowl with honey garlic chicken paired with crispy roasted potatoes, offering a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. Ideal for a cozy dinner or meal prep.
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
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 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!
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas.
Add vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini to the roasted potatoes for extra flavor.
For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the honey garlic marinade.
If reheating, return potatoes to the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
