Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons hot honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon hot honey. Spread them cut-side down and roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. While the potatoes roast, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 6–7 minutes, turning to brown all sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.
5. Add butter to the same skillet. Sauté mushrooms for 7–8 minutes until browned. Add garlic and cook for 1–2 more minutes.
6. Reduce heat to low, pour in heavy cream, and stir, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
7. Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
8. Return cooked chicken to the skillet and simmer 3–4 more minutes to combine.
9. Toss roasted potatoes with remaining 1 tablespoon hot honey.
10. Serve chicken Alfredo hot with potatoes on the side, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
Always let your chicken rest a few minutes before slicing or returning to the pan—it keeps it juicy.
Use freshly grated parmesan for a smoother, melt-in-your-mouth Alfredo sauce.
Let the cream come to room temperature before adding it to the pan to avoid curdling.
