Instructions

For the Honey BBQ Chicken:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  2. If adding protein powder, mix it into the sauce until smooth.
  3. Place chicken in a large bowl or ziplock bag, pour the sauce over it, and marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or set up an air fryer at 375°F.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes (or air fry for 15-18 minutes), flipping halfway, until internal temp reaches 165°F (75°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
  3. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  4. In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, protein powder (if using), and milk/broth until smooth.
  5. Once potatoes are done, toss them in the creamy sauce and mix well.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot!

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts for extra juiciness and flavor.
  • For a lower-carb version, try substituting the baby potatoes with cauliflower.
  • If you’re short on time, you can marinate the chicken for just 30 minutes, though overnight marination gives a deeper flavor.
  • You can adjust the cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
  • This recipe can be meal-prepped in advance and stored in the fridge for 3-4 days.
