Why You’ll Love This Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

  • It’s a one-two punch of creamy richness and bold, sweet heat.
  • Perfect for both date nights and family dinners.
  • Elevates comfort food with simple but luxurious ingredients.
  • The potatoes alone are addictive—and that sauce? Good enough to eat with a spoon.

What Kind of Mushrooms Work Best in Alfredo?

Cremini or baby bella mushrooms are your go-to for this dish. They bring a deeper, more umami-rich flavor than standard white mushrooms. Want to go fancy? Try a mix with shiitake or oyster mushrooms for added texture and gourmet flair. Avoid canned mushrooms—they lack the earthy punch and can water down your sauce.

How To Make the Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes to Crispy Perfection

Preheat oven to 425°F. Halve baby potatoes, toss in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. In the final five minutes, drizzle with hot honey and roast until caramelized.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Mushroom Alfredo Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter and add sliced mushrooms. Sauté until browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in parmesan and cook until thickened and velvety.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Slice chicken and return it to the skillet. Spoon sauce over and let it warm through. Plate alongside the hot honey roasted potatoes. Sprinkle with parsley if using.

1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved

2 tablespoons hot honey

Salt, to taste

2. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, drizzle potatoes with hot honey and return to oven to caramelize.

3. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside and keep warm.

4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden brown.

5. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

8. Slice chicken and return it to the skillet to warm through in the Alfredo sauce.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother, creamier sauce. Pre-grated cheese may make it grainy.

For extra heat, use spicy red pepper flakes in the Alfredo or a spicier hot honey.
