Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, lemon juice, 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.
2. Prepare the Crispy Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, 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. Prepare the Creamy Avocado Mushroom Basil Pesto 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 avocado, basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the crispy roasted potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the grilled chicken slices.
Drizzle generously with the creamy avocado mushroom basil pesto sauce.
