Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1 pound baby potatoes
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
8 ounces spaghetti or fettuccine
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons hot honey
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/4 cup cold water (for pesto)
Instructions
1. Combine olive oil, Greek yogurt or lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, and parsley. Marinate chicken for 30 minutes. Grill over medium heat for 6–8 minutes per side. Rest and slice.
2. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
3. Boil pasta until al dente. In a saucepan, heat cream and garlic. Add Parmesan and stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Blend tahini, parsley, basil, lemon juice, hot honey, garlic, olive oil, and cold water until smooth. Adjust taste as needed.
5. Plate pasta with Alfredo sauce, top with chicken and potatoes, drizzle pesto, and garnish with herbs.
Notes
Let the grilled chicken rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to retain its juiciness.
Add a splash of milk when reheating Alfredo pasta to keep it creamy.
Freeze extra pesto in an ice cube tray for quick flavor boosts later.
