Instructions
1. Prepare the Rosemary and Garlic Crispy 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.
2. Sauté the Garlic-Herb Chicken and Mushrooms
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken bites, minced garlic, oregano, and thyme. Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and lightly browned.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy mushroom sauce.
3. Prepare the Walnut-Infused Creamy Basil Pesto Sauce
In a food processor or blender, combine basil leaves, toasted walnuts, 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 rosemary and garlic potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the creamy mushroom garlic chicken.
Drizzle generously with the walnut-infused creamy basil pesto sauce.
