Description
A comforting dish of succulent chicken thighs marinated in chipotle honey sauce paired with creamy smoked gouda mashed potatoes, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons chipotle honey sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the spices: In a bowl, combine chipotle honey sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate the chicken: Rub this mixture generously all over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cook the chicken: For grilling: Place the thighs directly on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). For oven roasting: Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes.
- Prepare the mashed potatoes: While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Drain and mash: Once done, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add creamy ingredients: Pour in the milk, add the shredded smoked gouda and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy.
- Serve: Arrange the tender chicken thighs on a plate alongside the luxurious smoked gouda mashed potatoes, and enjoy your savory creation!
