Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 cup roasted chestnuts
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pesto
  • 4 medium Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, sage, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crisp.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté garlic and mushrooms until fragrant. Stir in chestnuts and pesto. Add Greek yogurt, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Cook until sauce thickens.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, coating with sauce. Serve with roasted sage potatoes and drizzle extra mushroom pesto cream if desired.

Notes

Reheat sauce with a splash of milk or cream to maintain creaminess. Roasting potatoes on parchment prevents sticking and helps them crisp up.
