• 1 roasted red bell pepper, sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 ½ cups heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Equipment You’ll Need

• Grill pan or skillet

• Baking sheet

• Medium and large mixing bowls

• Chef’s knife and cutting board

• Oven

• Saucepan or deep skillet

• Wooden spoon or spatula

Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions

1. Marinate and Grill the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken slices with olive oil, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.

Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Set aside and cover lightly with foil.

2. Roast the Veggies

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed potatoes and broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.

Roast for 15 minutes, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top. Return to the oven and roast for another 5–10 minutes, or until veggies are tender and the cheese is melted and golden.

3. Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sauté mushrooms and garlic until the mushrooms are soft and browned.

Add the roasted red pepper slices, then pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Dish

On each plate or in shallow bowls, spoon a bed of cheesy roasted potatoes and broccoli. Top with sliced grilled chicken. Generously ladle the Alfredo sauce over the top. Garnish with extra basil or Parmesan if desired.

Serve hot—and prepare to be obsessed.

Chef’s Tips for Success

• Slice chicken thinly for quicker cooking and better marinade absorption.

• Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, creamier sauce.

• Roast your own red peppers for a smoky, homemade touch.

• Make it spicy by adding crushed red pepper to the sauce or marinade.

• Don’t overcook the cream sauce—gentle simmering prevents curdling.

Ingredient Swaps & Variations

• Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for juicier meat.

• Add sun-dried tomatoes or olives to the sauce for extra Mediterranean flair.

• Swap mozzarella for provolone or fontina for different cheese notes.

• Make it vegetarian by skipping the chicken and doubling the mushrooms.

• Try gnocchi or pasta in place of the potatoes for a more classic Alfredo base.

Leftovers & Storage

Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Warm in a covered skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce.

Freezer: Not recommended due to the dairy-based sauce which may separate.

Pairing Suggestions

This rich and rustic dish pairs beautifully with:

• White wine like Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio

• Garlic bread or a warm baguette to mop up extra sauce

• Mixed greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette

• Sparkling water with lemon or basil for a fresh non-alcoholic pairing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep all components in advance and assemble right before serving. Just store the chicken, sauce, and veggies separately.

Q: What if I don’t like mushrooms?
Simply leave them out or substitute with zucchini, spinach, or more bell pepper.
