Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, 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.
2. Prepare the Rosemary-Garlic Roasted 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 tender, flipping halfway through.
3. Prepare the Creamy Coconut-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, Parmesan cheese (if using), coconut milk, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the rosemary-garlic roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the garlic-herb marinated grilled chicken slices.
Drizzle generously with the creamy coconut-infused mushroom basil pesto.

A unique and flavorful dish that combines the bright Mediterranean herbs with the creamy richness of coconut and the earthy mushrooms. A delightful culinary fusion!
