How To Make Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
Step 1: Sear the Chicken to Perfection
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear each breast for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic
In the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, letting the aroma bloom.
Step 3: Create the Alfredo Sauce
Lower the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
Step 4: Boil the Fettuccine
While the sauce simmers, cook fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water to thin the sauce if needed.
Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce
Toss the drained fettuccine into the Alfredo sauce, coating every ribbon in creamy goodness. Slice the seared chicken and layer it over the pasta.
Step 6: Prepare Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
Halve baby potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of honey mixed with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Roast in a preheated 425°F oven for 25-30 minutes until crispy and caramelized.
Step 7: Plate and Garnish
Serve the creamy chicken Alfredo alongside the hot honey potatoes. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley and a sprig of rosemary for a restaurant-worthy touch.
Serving and Storing Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
This dish is best enjoyed hot, right off the stove, when the Alfredo sauce is at its creamiest and the roasted potatoes are perfectly crisp. If you have leftovers, store the pasta and potatoes separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the pasta gently over low heat with a splash of milk or cream to bring back its silky texture, and crisp the potatoes in the oven for a few minutes to revive their crunch.
