Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts
1 cup roasted chestnuts, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 tbsp fresh sage, chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, chopped sage, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
2. In a skillet, sauté mushrooms in olive oil until golden. Let cool, then blend with basil, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make pesto.
3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot skillet for 4–5 minutes per side. Rest and slice.
4. In the same skillet, sauté garlic. Add chestnuts, then pour in cream. Simmer 5–6 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until creamy.
5. Plate with Alfredo sauce as a base, topped with sliced chicken, roasted potatoes, and a dollop of mushroom basil pesto.
Notes
Use freshly roasted chestnuts for the richest flavor.
To reheat, gently warm the Alfredo sauce on low heat and crisp potatoes in the oven.
