Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken bites with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, lemon juice, 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 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.
3. Prepare the Spinach & 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.
Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.
Transfer the mushroom and spinach mixture to a food processor or blender. Add basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy rosemary-garlic potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the herb-marinated grilled chicken bites.
Drizzle generously with the nutrient-rich spinach and mushroom pesto cream sauce.
