Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts: The star of the show – these lean, juicy chicken breasts get a delectable BBQ makeover.
- 4 Medium Potatoes: Diced into bite-sized pieces, the potatoes become perfectly crispy and tender as they roast alongside the chicken.
- 1 Cup BBQ Sauce: The key to that irresistible sweet and tangy flavor. Look for a high-quality, thick and rich sauce that will coat the chicken beautifully.
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil: A drizzle of this versatile cooking oil helps the potatoes achieve that sought-after crispiness.
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese: Melted over the top, the cheese adds a creamy, comforting element to the final dish.
- 2 Green Onions: Chopped and sprinkled on top, these onions provide a pop of fresh flavor and vibrant color.
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season and Roast the Potatoes: Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until they’re starting to become crispy.
- Add the Chicken: Place the boneless chicken breasts directly on top of the potatoes and generously brush them with your chosen BBQ sauce.
- Bake to Perfection: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken and potatoes, then continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and serve your delectable BBQ Chicken and Potatoes hot and fresh.
Notes
