Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic minced
1.5 cups sliced cremini or white mushrooms
1.5 cups heavy cream
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.25 cup chicken broth (optional)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or fresh thyme
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
1.5 pounds baby potatoes halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter (optional)
1.5 tablespoons honey
0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
3. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet cut-side down and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, drizzle potatoes with honey and butter, then return to oven to caramelize.
5. Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest.
7. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
8. Add mushrooms and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.
9. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add chicken broth if needed.
10. Taste and adjust seasoning, then return sliced chicken to the sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes.
11. Plate chicken with sauce and serve alongside hot honey roasted potatoes. Garnish with parsley.
12. Serve hot and enjoy immediately!
Notes
For a smoother Alfredo sauce, avoid boiling the cream—simmer gently and stir continuously.
Let the cooked chicken rest before slicing to retain juiciness.
Roast potatoes cut-side down for best caramelization and texture.
