Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 garlic cloves, minced
1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons hot honey
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons water (as needed for pesto)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss chopped Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
2. While potatoes roast, season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear in hot skillet with olive oil until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, reduce heat and sauté garlic. Add Greek yogurt, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Stir gently until smooth and warmed—do not boil.
4. Blend tahini, hot honey, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and water until creamy. Adjust consistency if needed.
5. Slice chicken, layer over potatoes, drizzle with Alfredo sauce and pesto. Garnish with extra basil or Parmesan.
Notes
Use fresh basil and hot honey for the best flavor in the pesto.
Don’t overheat the yogurt sauce—it can separate if boiled.
