🌿 1 tbsp chopped parsley
🥛 1/2 cup heavy cream or crème fraîche
🧂 Salt & pepper, to taste
🧀 Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan for extra flavor
👩🍳 Instructions:
Marinate the chicken: Combine olive oil, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Cook the potatoes: Boil baby potatoes in salted water for 12–15 minutes until tender. Drain and toss with butter and parsley.
Grill the chicken: Grill chicken on medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through (internal temp 74°C / 165°F). Rest for 5 minutes, then slice.
Sauté mushrooms: In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté mushrooms with a pinch of salt and pepper for 6–8 minutes until golden.
Prepare sun-dried tomatoes: If dry, soak in hot water for 10 mins. If packed in oil, drain lightly. Warm through with the mushrooms in the last 2 minutes.
Make the herb sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cream and parsley, season to taste, and simmer for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in Parmesan if using.
Assemble: Plate the sliced chicken, baby potatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and tomatoes. Spoon herb sauce to the side and garnish with chopped parsley.
🔄 Substitutions & Notes:
Use Greek yogurt or light crème fraîche for a lighter sauce version.
Add roasted bell peppers or zucchini for extra veg.
Chicken can also be pan-seared if no grill is available.
