Description

Chestnut Garlic Greek Chicken Alfredo with Sage Potatoes & Mushroom Basil Pesto is a flavorful, Mediterranean-inspired comfort dish that combines creamy Alfredo chicken with earthy mushroom basil pesto and golden sage potatoes.


Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts

4 cloves chestnut garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

3 medium Yukon gold potatoes

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 cup mixed mushrooms

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup pine nuts

2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1 clove garlic

3 tablespoons olive oil

Pinch of salt


Instructions

1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.

2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and let rest.

3. In the same skillet, sauté chestnut garlic until fragrant, then add heavy cream. Simmer gently.

4. Whisk in Parmesan cheese to create a creamy Alfredo sauce.

5. Slice the chicken and return it to the pan to coat with Alfredo sauce.

6. Slice Yukon gold potatoes into rounds.

7. Melt butter in a separate skillet and add sage until aromatic.

8. Add the potato slices and sauté until golden and tender. Season with sea salt.

9. In a food processor, combine mushrooms, basil, pine nuts, Parmesan, garlic, and olive oil.

10. Blend into a smooth pesto, adjusting seasoning as needed.

11. To serve, plate Alfredo chicken at the center, fan out the sage potatoes on the side, and drizzle mushroom basil pesto around.

12. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon zest if desired.

Notes

This dish balances the richness of Alfredo with the brightness of herbs and the depth of pesto. Serve with a crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon. A side arugula salad with cucumbers and olives pairs beautifully for a complete Mediterranean meal.
