π Creamy Mushroom-Garlic Basil Pesto
-
4 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

π₯ Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a mixing bowl, combine chicken slices with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dish.
2. Roast the Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
Toss the cubed potatoes with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and fork-tender.
3. Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the marinated chicken slices for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.
4. Make the Creamy Mushroom-Garlic Basil Pesto
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium. Sauté mushrooms and garlic until softened and the mushrooms release their juices, about 5–7 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add basil, Parmesan, cream, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5. Assemble & Serve
Plate the roasted potatoes. Top with sliced chicken.
Spoon the warm mushroom-garlic basil pesto generously over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy the rich Mediterranean aroma and flavor!
β¨ Why You’ll Love It
This dish is a celebration of contrasts—herby brightness meets creamy earthiness. The mushrooms provide a luxurious depth to the sauce, while the lemon and herbs in the chicken bring lightness and vibrancy. Roasted potatoes add just the right amount of heartiness to round out the plate.
π‘ Ingredient Tips
-
For a dairy-free version, use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan and full-fat coconut cream in place of heavy cream.
-
Don’t have cremini mushrooms? White or portobello mushrooms work beautifully too.
