Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 chicken breasts or thighs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce
Mushroom Garlic Alfredo Sauce
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced (use part for potatoes and part for sauce)
- 1.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season and Sear Chicken: Season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil and butter over medium heat in a skillet, then sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- Roast the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
- Prepare Hot Honey Drizzle: In a small bowl, mix honey with chili flakes or hot sauce. Drizzle this spicy-sweet mixture over the roasted potatoes just before serving.
- Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until nicely browned. Add the remaining minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes.
- Create Alfredo Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream to the skillet with mushrooms and garlic. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Slice the seared chicken and return it to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Let it simmer together for 2–3 minutes to soak up the flavors.
- Serve and Garnish: Plate the creamy mushroom garlic chicken alongside the hot honey roasted potatoes. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, vibrant finish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use chicken breasts for leaner meat or thighs for juicier, more flavorful results.
- You can adjust the heat level of the hot honey drizzle by varying the amount of chili flakes or hot sauce.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly so they roast uniformly and become crisp.
- For a thicker Alfredo sauce, simmer a few extra minutes or add more Parmesan cheese.
- This recipe can be doubled to serve more people.
