Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast
1 cup roasted and pureed chestnuts
6 cloves roasted garlic
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb baby potatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
2 tablespoons basil pesto
1/4 cup cream (for mushrooms)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 30–35 minutes, turning once.
2. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet with olive oil for 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
3. In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add roasted garlic and chestnut puree. Sauté for 2 minutes. Pour in cream and simmer. Stir in Parmesan until smooth.
4. In a separate pan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté mushrooms until golden. Stir in basil pesto and 1/4 cup cream. Simmer until thick and creamy.
5. Slice the chicken and plate with potatoes and mushrooms. Drizzle Alfredo sauce over chicken. Garnish and serve hot.
Notes
Use freshly roasted garlic for a mellow, deep flavor in the sauce.
For a thinner sauce, add a splash of chicken broth or more cream.
