Why You’ll Love This Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo
This dish checks every box: creamy, savory, crispy, and a little sweet. The mushroom Alfredo sauce is ultra-silky and full of umami flavor, while the hot honey roasted potatoes add a beautiful contrast with their sweet heat and golden crunch.
It’s a one-plate wonder that feels restaurant-quality but is completely doable in your own kitchen. Plus, it uses simple ingredients that come together in a way that feels indulgent without being overwhelming.
What Kind of Mushrooms Should I Use?
Baby bella or cremini mushrooms are a top choice here. They have a deeper, earthier flavor than white button mushrooms and hold up well in the creamy Alfredo sauce. You can also mix in shiitake or even wild mushrooms for more complexity. Just be sure to slice them evenly and sauté until deeply golden for the richest taste.
Ingredients for the Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
Each ingredient in this recipe plays a special role in creating the creamy richness, the juicy texture, and the sweet-spicy balance. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Chicken breasts: Skinless, boneless fillets sear beautifully and remain tender in the creamy sauce.
- Cremini mushrooms: These earthy mushrooms are perfect for a deep, savory flavor.
- Garlic cloves: Freshly minced garlic boosts the aroma and depth of the Alfredo sauce.
- Heavy cream: Forms the creamy base of the Alfredo sauce.
- Parmesan cheese: Adds that salty, nutty sharpness essential to Alfredo.
- Butter: Helps with sautéing and enriching the sauce.
- Olive oil: Used to sear the chicken and roast the potatoes.
- Baby potatoes: Their skins get crispy in the oven while staying fluffy inside.
- Hot honey: Sweet with a spicy kick, it turns simple roasted potatoes into something unforgettable.
- Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning all components.
- Chopped parsley: For garnish and a fresh burst of color.
How To Make the Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
Step 1: Sear the Chicken
Season your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Roast the Potatoes
Halve the baby potatoes, toss them in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them in a preheated oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes until crispy and golden. Drizzle with hot honey right after they come out of the oven.
Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms and Garlic
In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until browned, then stir in minced garlic and sauté briefly until fragrant.
Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce
Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 5: Combine and Serve
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over it. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes to absorb the flavor. Serve with hot honey roasted potatoes and sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
How to Serve and Store This Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo with Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes
This dish is hearty and satisfying on its own, but it shines even more when served with a light salad or a crusty slice of bread to mop up all that velvety sauce. It comfortably serves 4 people, making it ideal for family dinners or date nights.
To store leftovers, let everything cool completely and then transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream if needed to loosen the sauce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken thighs are juicy and flavorful. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time slightly, as thighs may take a bit longer to cook through.
Q2: Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the Alfredo sauce up to 2 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge and gently reheat on low while stirring.
Q3: What’s the best hot honey to use?
You can buy hot honey from most grocery stores or make your own by mixing honey with a dash of chili flakes or hot sauce. Mike’s Hot Honey is a popular brand.
Q4: Is there a dairy-free option for the Alfredo sauce?
You can substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or any unsweetened dairy-free creamer, and use a vegan parmesan alternative. The flavor will vary slightly but still be delicious.
Q5: Can I freeze this dish?
Freezing isn’t ideal because creamy sauces can separate, but if needed, freeze only the chicken and sauce together (not the potatoes) in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
