Ingredients

Garlic-Marinated Chicken:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/2-inch thick cutlets or bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1/2 tsp dried basil

  • Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Golden Parmesan Garlic Potatoes:

  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 3 tbsp olive oil

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary (or Italian herbs)

  • Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Creamy Triple-Cheese Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese

  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Spinach-Basil Pesto Swirl:

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, packed

  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, packed

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts/almonds)

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/3 cup olive oil

  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  • Marinate Chicken: Combine chicken with olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let marinate at least 30 minutes.

  • Prepare Potatoes: Toss potato cubes with olive oil, Parmesan, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.

  • Cook Chicken: Sear marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. Set aside.

  • Make Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add cream, cream cheese, feta, and Parmesan. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season to taste.

  • Blend Pesto: In a food processor, blend spinach, basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and olive oil until smooth. Season with salt.

  • Assemble: In an oven-safe dish or bowl, layer Alfredo sauce, chicken, and potatoes. Swirl in pesto and top with extra cheese.

  • Broil (Optional): Broil for 2–3 minutes until the cheese topping is golden and bubbly.

  • Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or extra pesto and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra decadence, top with shredded mozzarella before broiling.

  • Use store-bought pesto for a shortcut.

  • Great with a side of garlic bread or a light green salad.
