🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2-3)
🐔 Garlic-Herb Marinated Grilled Chicken Slices:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
1 tbsp fresh oregano, chopped 🌿
½ tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
🥔 Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes:
2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
🌿🍄🧀 Twist: Creamy Mushroom Pesto Blended with Spinach and Tangy Feta Cheese:
8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup fresh spinach, packed
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup fresh basil leaves
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper to taste
🔥 Instructions:
Marinate & Grill the Chicken: In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill or sauté chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred. Set aside.
Prepare the Roasted Rosemary Garlic Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Prepare the Twist: Creamy Mushroom Pesto Blended with Spinach and Tangy Feta Cheese: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until mushrooms are softened and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes. Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Transfer the mushroom and spinach mixture to a food processor or blender. Add crumbled feta cheese, basil leaves, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Assemble & Serve: Arrange the roasted rosemary garlic potatoes on plates or in a bowl. Top with the grilled chicken slices. Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom pesto blended with spinach and tangy feta cheese.
✨ A vibrant and flavorful dish that perfectly combines bright Mediterranean herbs with earthy mushrooms, fresh greens, tangy feta, and crispy potatoes. A delightful and wholesome meal with a unique twist!
