Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lemon juiced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
0.5 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic finely minced
1.5 cups heavy cream
0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 cup chopped fresh spinach
0.5 cup chopped artichoke hearts
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
0.67 cup heavy cream
0.25 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon cream cheese (optional)
2 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic minced
1 cup gnocchi or baby potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt pepper and garlic powder to taste
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, salt, and pepper. On a separate sheet, toss gnocchi or potatoes with olive oil and seasoning. Roast both for 20–25 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet or grill pan. Sear marinated chicken 5–6 minutes per side or until internal temp reaches 165°F. Let rest, then slice.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until smooth. Add spinach and artichokes. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
5. In another skillet, sauté mushrooms in olive oil until golden. Add cream and basil. Simmer 3–5 minutes. Blend for smoother texture if desired.
6. Layer Alfredo on the plate, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with mushroom basil cream, and serve with roasted broccoli and gnocchi/potatoes.
Notes
Let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier, more flavorful slices.
Use freshly grated Parmesan to ensure the sauce melts smoothly and tastes authentic.
Add fresh basil at the very end to preserve its bright, herbaceous punch.
