Instructions

Step 1: Season the Chicken

Lightly season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. This enhances the flavor and preps them for a delicious sear.

Step 2: Prep the Vegetables

• Potatoes: Peel and cut into medium-sized chunks.

• Carrots: Coarsely chop.

• Onion, Garlic & Parsley: Finely chop each and set aside separately.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

In a large pan, melt 50g of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and sear for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4: Sauté the Veggies

In the same pan, add the potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, and parsley. Fry for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and fragrant.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

In a separate saucepan, combine the honey, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and mustard. Warm over low heat and stir until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

Step 6: Assemble the Dish

Transfer the sautéed vegetables into a baking dish. Place the seared chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Pour the prepared honey chili sauce evenly over everything.

Step 7: Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the dish uncovered for 40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.

 Serving Suggestions

Serve hot with crusty bread, a side salad, or steamed green beans for a balanced meal. Drizzle extra sauce from the pan over the top for added flavor.

 Pro Tips

• Crispier Chicken: Finish under the broiler for 2–3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin.

• Make Ahead: You can prep everything in advance and store it in the fridge until ready to bake.
