Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
Grilled Chicken with Garlic, Rosemary, & Oregano 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsp olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped 1 tsp dried oregano Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Garlic & Rosemary Roasted Potatoes 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes 1 tbsp olive oil 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Creamy Mushroom Pesto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped 2 tbsp olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup fresh basil leaves ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed), drained 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 2 tbsp heavy cream 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Marinate & Grill the Chicken In a bowl, toss chicken breasts with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice.
2. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
3. Prepare the Creamy Mushroom Pesto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until mushrooms are softened and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a food processor or blender. Add basil leaves, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and balsamic vinegar. Blend until mostly smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Assemble & Serve Arrange the roasted garlic rosemary potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the grilled garlic, rosemary, and oregano chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom pesto enriched with sun-dried tomatoes.
A delightful Tuscan-inspired meal with a rich and flavorful pesto! The aromatic chicken, fragrant potatoes, and the earthy, slightly sweet, and tangy pesto create a truly satisfying culinary experience.
