Creamy Garlic Mushroom Alfredo Chicken & Potatoes with Basil Pesto Twist

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and tender.

Step 2: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet, sauté garlic and mushrooms until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Pour in heavy cream and stir in Parmesan and cream cheese. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 5: Stir in the basil pesto to create a rich, double-creamy Alfredo sauce.

Step 6: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 7: Serve the chicken sliced over roasted potatoes, drizzled generously with extra pesto cream sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
