With the added crunch from the roasted potatoes and the richness of tahini, this meal transforms humble ingredients into something truly magical. Even picky eaters will be going back for seconds.

What Makes the Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto So Unique?

Traditional pesto usually includes basil, pine nuts, and parmesan. But this version skips the cheese and swaps in tahini for creaminess, chili flakes for heat, and a touch of honey to round it all out. It’s drizzled over the dish just before serving, offering a spicy, nutty sweetness that melts into the Alfredo base beautifully.

You can use it as a sauce, a dip, or even a marinade. It adds a punchy contrast that balances the creamy Alfredo and savory garlic potatoes without overpowering them. Plus, it stores well in the fridge for a few days, making it your new go-to condiment for more than just pasta.

• Salt and pepper
• Heavy cream
• Parmesan cheese
• Butter
• Tahini
• Hot honey

How To Make the Greek Chicken Alfredo & Garlic Potatoes with Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto

Step 1: Roast the Garlic Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Cut the Yukon gold potatoes into bite-sized chunks and toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until crispy and golden.

Step 2: Cook the Greek-Style Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, and a pinch of paprika. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Let rest before slicing.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter and add minced garlic. Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently for 5 minutes. Stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4: Prepare the Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto

In a bowl, whisk together tahini, hot honey, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and a splash of warm water until smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed. It should be creamy, spicy, and slightly sweet.

Step 5: Assemble the Dish

Layer the roasted garlic potatoes onto plates, followed by the sliced chicken. Spoon over the Alfredo sauce generously. Drizzle the hot honey tahini pesto on top and finish with chopped fresh parsley.

How to Serve and Store Greek Chicken Alfredo & Garlic Potatoes with Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto

This dish is best served hot, straight after assembly, when the Alfredo is creamy and the potatoes still crisp on the edges. It makes for a satisfying main course that can easily feed four people. Serve it family-style on a large platter to highlight all the textures and layers, and let everyone dig in.

If you have leftovers, store the components separately. Keep the Alfredo sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The potatoes and chicken can be stored together but should be reheated in the oven or a skillet to revive their texture. The pesto will keep well in the fridge for about 5 days and makes a great sauce for roasted veggies or sandwiches too.
