Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken bites with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Crispy Garlic-Rosemary 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.
3. Prepare the Rich Truffle-Infused Mushroom Pesto Cream Sauce
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.
Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a food processor or blender. Add basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and truffle oil.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy garlic-rosemary potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the lemon and garlic-marinated grilled chicken bites.
Drizzle generously with the rich truffle-infused mushroom pesto cream sauce.

A sophisticated and flavorful dish that combines the bright zest of lemon and aromatic garlic with the earthy richness of mushrooms and the luxurious touch of truffle. The crispy potatoes provide the perfect textural contrast!
