🔥 Instructions
Marinate & Grill the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside.
Prepare the Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Twist: Creamy Mushroom Pesto Blended with Spinach and Tangy Feta Cheese: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until mushrooms are softened and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Transfer the mushroom and spinach mixture to a food processor or blender. Add crumbled feta cheese, basil leaves, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the roasted rosemary garlic potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the grilled chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom pesto blended with spinach and tangy feta cheese.
