🔥 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 Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and drizzle with hot honey. Toss to coat and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Creamy Mushroom Pesto Sauce with Hot Honey Drizzle: 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 lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle hot honey over the sauce before serving.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the hot honey-glazed crispy potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the garlic-herb grilled chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom pesto sauce kissed with hot honey.
✨ A delectable dish that perfectly balances the savory chicken and potatoes with the sweetness and spice of hot honey, all complemented by the earthy and creamy mushroom pesto. A truly delightful culinary experience!
