A delightful dish combining juicy chicken with tender potatoes in a rich and creamy garlic Alfredo sauce, topped with basil pesto.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Basil pesto for topping
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook until golden and tender, about 10-15 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until mushrooms are soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring until the sauce is creamy and thickened.
  5. Return the potatoes and chicken to the skillet, coating them with the Alfredo sauce.
  6. Serve topped with basil pesto and garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, substitute half the heavy cream with chicken broth. Add extra vegetables like spinach or broccoli for added nutrition.
