🍄🌿 Twist: Drizzled Creamy Truffle-Infused Mushroom Basil Pesto:

🔥 Instructions
Marinate & Grill the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside.
Prepare the Honey-Roasted Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, honey, 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 Creamy Truffle-Infused Mushroom Basil Pesto: 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, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and truffle oil. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the honey-roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the garlic-herb grilled chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the creamy truffle-infused mushroom basil pesto.
✨ A delightful dish that perfectly balances the savory chicken and earthy truffle pesto with the subtle sweetness of honey-roasted potatoes. A truly special and flavorful meal!
