Instructions
1. Marinate & Cook the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken bites with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and cook the chicken until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
2. Prepare the Crispy Garlic-Herb Pesto Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, basil pesto, 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.
3. Make the Creamy Mushroom Alfredo Sauce
In the same skillet used for the chicken, add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and lightly browned.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat.
4. Prepare the Rich Mushroom Alfredo Pesto Cream Sauce
Heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until softened.
Transfer to a food processor or blender. Add basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy garlic-herb pesto roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the creamy garlic mushroom chicken Alfredo.
Drizzle generously with the rich mushroom Alfredo pesto cream sauce.
