Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup chicken broth
0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 pound baby potatoes halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons honey
0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve the baby potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side down.
3. Roast for 20 minutes, then drizzle with honey and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Toss and return to oven for 10–15 more minutes until crispy.
4. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian herbs.
5. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
6. In the same skillet, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 4 minutes.
7. Pour in chicken broth, deglaze the pan, and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
8. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan and dried herbs. Cook until thickened, 3–4 minutes.
9. Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the sauce. Simmer together for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
10. Serve chicken Alfredo alongside the hot honey roasted potatoes. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and sprinkle herbs over both.
Notes
Use room temperature chicken to ensure even cooking and a juicier texture.
Always freshly grate your Parmesan for best melting and flavor.
Don’t skip flipping the potatoes mid-roast—they get that perfect golden crust this way.
