🔥 Instructions
Marinate & Grill the Spicy Greek Garlic Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, 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 Crispy Roasted Garlic 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 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Rich Mushroom Pesto Cream Blended with Spicy Whipped Feta: 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, crumbled feta cheese, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the crispy roasted garlic potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the grilled spicy Greek garlic chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the rich mushroom pesto cream blended with spicy whipped feta.
✨ A bold and exciting Mediterranean dish with layers of flavor and a delightful spicy kick! The aromatic chicken, fragrant potatoes, and the creamy, earthy, spicy, and tangy pesto create a truly unforgettable culinary experience.
