Instructions
1. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, 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.
2. Sauté the Garlic Chicken and Mushrooms
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add sliced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy mushroom sauce.
3. Prepare the Rich Basil Pesto Cream Sauce
In a food processor or blender, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy herb-roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the creamy garlic mushroom chicken.
Drizzle generously with the rich basil pesto cream sauce.
