Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and hot honey until evenly coated. Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness. Remove once tender and caramelized.
Season and Sear Chicken: While the potatoes roast, season the chicken breasts or thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté Mushrooms and Garlic: In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced cremini mushrooms and sauté until they are nicely browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
Make Alfredo Sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic to deglaze the pan, stirring to loosen any browned bits from the bottom. Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the seared chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the Alfredo sauce. Let it simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors and finish cooking.
Serve: Plate the creamy mushroom garlic chicken Alfredo alongside the hot honey roasted potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

You can use either chicken breasts or thighs based on your preference; thighs will be juicier and more flavorful.
To make the dish gluten-free, ensure the Parmesan cheese and hot honey used do not contain additives with gluten.
Adjust the amount of hot honey on the potatoes depending on your heat preference.
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a milk-cream blend, though the sauce may be less rich.
Leftover chicken Alfredo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave to avoid separating the sauce.
