Instructions
1. Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, toss chicken slices with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Roasted Potatoes
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a bowl, toss potato cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
3. Cook the Chicken
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Grill or sauté the marinated chicken slices for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.
4. Prepare the Creamy Mushroom-Garlic Basil Pesto
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until mushrooms are softened and have released their liquid, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a food processor or blender. Add basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and lemon juice.
Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Assemble & Serve
Arrange the roasted garlic rosemary potatoes on plates or in a bowl.
Top with the Greek herb-marinated chicken slices.
Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom-garlic basil pesto.

A delightful Mediterranean-inspired meal with a unique and savory pesto! The earthy mushrooms complement the bright Greek flavors and the creamy texture ties everything together beautifully.
