Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

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.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add chicken bites, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping occasionally. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Basil Pesto Drizzle
In a food processor or blender, combine drained sun-dried tomatoes, basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, olive oil (if needed), minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
