Description

A rich and flavorful dish combining tender chicken with aromatic garlic, earthy chestnuts, and creamy Alfredo sauce, served alongside sage-infused potatoes and a fresh mushroom basil pesto.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup roasted chestnuts, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 medium potatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in a skillet with 1 tbsp butter until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté garlic and chestnuts for 2 minutes. Add heavy cream and Parmesan, simmer until thickened. Return chicken to the sauce.
  3. Toss potatoes with sage, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes or until crispy.
  4. Blend mushrooms, basil, olive oil, salt, and pepper into a smooth pesto.
  5. Serve chicken with Alfredo sauce, sage potatoes, and a dollop of mushroom basil pesto.

Notes
