Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway through until tender and golden brown.
  2. While the potatoes are roasting, cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and pat them dry.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken cubes with 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the seasoned chicken in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the Honey BBQ sauce, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once the potatoes are done, add them to the skillet with the Honey BBQ chicken and gently stir to combine.
  7. For an extra layer of flavor, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, cover, and let the cheese melt for a minute or two.
Serving
  1. Garnish with chopped green onions and crispy fried onions. Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

To ensure crispy potatoes, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and pat chicken dry before seasoning.
