Ingredients

  • For the hot honey garlic chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes or 1 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • For the roasted potatoes:
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby or Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
  • For the caramelized shallot mushroom pesto cream:
  • 2 shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp prepared pesto (basil or spinach-based)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and herbs. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sear in hot skillet with olive oil for 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Set aside to rest.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté garlic, then add honey, chili flakes, and vinegar. Simmer until thickened. Drizzle over chicken.
  4. In a separate pan, caramelize shallots in butter until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until browned.
  5. Stir in cream, pesto, and Parmesan. Simmer until smooth and thickened. Season to taste.
  6. Plate chicken and potatoes. Spoon mushroom pesto cream over or around and garnish with herbs or cheese.

Notes

  • Use sweet potatoes for added sweetness.
  • Make it vegetarian with tofu or portobello mushrooms.
  • Swap pesto type—arugula, kale, or sun-dried tomato versions work well.
  • Add white wine to the cream sauce for depth.
  • Sauces can be made ahead and reheated.
