Instructions
1. Prepare the Truffle-Pesto Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, truffle pesto, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
2. Prepare the Parmesan-Crusted Garlic Chicken Bites
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow dish, beat the egg.
In another shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken bite in the beaten egg, then dredge in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken bites for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
3. Prepare the Creamy Truffle-Garlic Basil Pesto Drizzle
In a small food processor or blender, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, truffle oil, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the truffle-pesto roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the crispy Parmesan-crusted garlic chicken bites.
Drizzle generously with the creamy truffle-garlic basil pesto.
