Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Whisk 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Rub evenly over chicken and let rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer skillet to a 400°F oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 3: Boil cubed potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain, then mash with 3 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup milk, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley before serving.
