🔥 Instructions
Prepare & Cook the Spicy Garlic Greek Chicken Bites in Alfredo Sauce: In a bowl, toss chicken bites with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until browned and cooked through. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Simmer gently until sauce slightly thickens. Keep warm.
Prepare the Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, 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 Spicy Mushroom Pesto Cream Sauce: 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, hot sauce (or red pepper flakes), and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the hot honey roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the spicy garlic Greek chicken bites in creamy Alfredo sauce. Drizzle generously with the spicy mushroom pesto cream sauce.
✨ A bold and flavorful dish that perfectly balances creamy Alfredo with spicy Greek chicken and a sweet and spicy kick on the roasted potatoes, all enhanced by a fiery mushroom pesto. A truly exciting and delicious meal!
