Instructions
1. Prepare the Garlic-Roasted Crispy 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.
2. Sauté the Garlic Mushroom Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken bites and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant.
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. Season with salt and pepper.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the creamy mushroom Alfredo sauce.
3. Prepare the Creamy Lemon-Infused Basil Pesto Drizzle
In a food processor or blender, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Blend until smooth. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy garlic-roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the creamy garlic mushroom chicken Alfredo.
Drizzle generously with the creamy lemon-infused basil pesto.
