Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
6 cloves chestnut garlic, roasted and minced
1 tablespoon Greek herb blend (oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram)
1 pound baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup basil pesto
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a bowl, marinate chicken breasts with olive oil, Greek herb blend, salt, and pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes.
2. Grill the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and charred. Slice and set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. In a pan, melt butter and sauté mushrooms over medium heat for 6–8 minutes until browned. Add minced chestnut garlic and cook until fragrant.
5. Pour heavy cream into the pan with the mushrooms and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth.
6. Swirl in basil pesto and season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer until thickened slightly.
7. Assemble by plating grilled chicken slices, roasted sage potatoes, and spooning pesto Alfredo mushroom sauce over the top.
Notes
Let the chicken rest before slicing to lock in the juices.
You can swap baby potatoes for fingerlings or even sweet potatoes.
Add more pesto for a stronger herbaceous kick or blend it with spinach for milder flavor.
