🔥 Instructions
Marinate & Grill the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, 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 Creamy Garlic Alfredo Pasta: Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup pasta water. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with cooked pasta, adding reserved pasta water if needed. Keep warm.
Prepare the Crispy Roasted Garlic 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 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Rich, Spicy Tahini Basil Pesto Sauce with Hot Honey Swirl: In a food processor or blender, combine tahini, basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and water (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper. Swirl in the hot honey.
Assemble & Serve: Divide the creamy garlic Alfredo pasta and crispy roasted garlic potatoes between plates or bowls. Top with the lemon-herb grilled chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the rich, spicy tahini basil pesto sauce with the hot honey swirl.
✨ A bold and exciting dish that beautifully marries the creamy comfort of Alfredo with the bright Mediterranean flavors, nutty tahini, fresh basil, and the sweet and spicy kick of hot honey. A truly unique and satisfying culinary adventure!
