Ingredients


Instructions

  • Prepare Crispy Parmesan Garlic Potatoes:

    • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    • Toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

    • Spread evenly in a single layer and roast 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

  • Marinate and Cook Grilled Tuscan Chicken:

    • While potatoes roast, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Marinate at least 15 minutes.

    • Heat skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5–7 minutes (for bites) or 2–3 minutes per side (for cutlets) until cooked and browned. Set aside.

  • Make Roasted Red Pepper & Basil Pesto:

    • In a food processor, combine roasted red pepper, basil, pine nuts, garlic, and Parmesan. Pulse to chop.

    • With motor running, drizzle olive oil until pesto forms. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Prepare Alfredo Base and Combine with Pesto:

    • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic 30 seconds.

    • Add heavy cream and bring to gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until smooth. Season to taste.

    • Stir in pesto until fully incorporated. Keep warm.

  • Make Smoked Paprika Oil:

    • Stir smoked paprika into olive oil in a small bowl.

  • Assemble & Serve:

    • Add cooked chicken to Alfredo pesto sauce, stir to coat.

    • Plate crispy potatoes, spoon creamy chicken mixture on top.

    • Drizzle smoked paprika oil and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

  • Use well-drained jarred roasted peppers or peel fresh roasted peppers for smooth pesto.

  • Don’t skip smoked paprika oil — it adds smoky flavor and beautiful color.

  • Avoid overcooking chicken for juicy texture.

  • Spread potatoes out for best crispiness.

  • Thin Alfredo sauce with warm broth or milk if too thick.
