Instructions: Roast the Potatoes Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, dried rosemary or oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Toss hot potatoes with basil pesto just before serving. Cook the Chicken Season the chicken pieces with olive oil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low, then add honey, hot sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Toss until the chicken is sticky, caramelized, and fully glazed. Prepare the Alfredo Pasta Cook the pasta according to package instructions. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix the Hot Honey Pesto Drizzle Whisk together basil pesto, honey, hot sauce, and lemon juice until smooth. Add a splash of warm water if needed to thin the sauce for drizzling. Assemble the Plate Place a bed of lemon-garlic Alfredo pasta on each plate. Top with crispy hot honey chicken bites. Add a scoop of garlic pesto roasted potatoes on the side. Drizzle generously with the sweet-spicy hot honey pesto sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, extra Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon. Serves 2–3
