Ingredients for the Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

Chicken Breast or Thighs: Boneless, skinless cuts work best for quick searing and soaking up the creamy sauce.
Mushrooms: Use cremini, baby bella, or white button mushrooms for earthy depth and texture.
Garlic: Freshly minced garlic infuses the sauce with a rich, aromatic foundation.
Heavy Cream: The base of the Alfredo sauce, lending it luscious creaminess and body.
Parmesan Cheese: Adds savory sharpness and helps thicken the sauce naturally.
Olive Oil & Butter: Used for searing and flavor layering; butter adds richness while olive oil prevents burning.
Hot Honey: Balances heat and sweetness, making the roasted potatoes addictive.
Baby Potatoes: Small golden or red potatoes roast beautifully with crispy edges and tender centers.
Fresh Parsley: Adds color and brightness for garnish and a hint of herbaceous freshness.
Salt & Black Pepper: Seasoning essentials to highlight every ingredient.

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

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Halve baby potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of hot honey. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until crispy and caramelized, flipping halfway through.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

While potatoes roast, heat a skillet over medium-high. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil and butter until golden on both sides and fully cooked through. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms & Garlic

In the same skillet, add a bit more butter and toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until they release their moisture and start to brown. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Build the Alfredo Sauce

Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let it simmer for a few minutes before adding the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Combine and Finish

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it well in the Alfredo sauce. Let everything simmer together for 3-4 minutes to absorb the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 6: Plate and Serve

Serve the creamy garlic mushroom chicken next to the hot honey roasted potatoes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy while hot!

Serving and Storing This Flavor-Packed Dinner

This dish shines brightest when served hot and fresh, straight from skillet to plate. Pair the creamy chicken with the crispy hot honey roasted potatoes on the side for visual and flavor contrast. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley or even a lemon wedge for extra brightness.

For storing, let everything cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. The Alfredo chicken and potatoes can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce if needed. The potatoes crisp up again nicely in an air fryer or oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of mushrooms work best in this recipe?

Cremini or baby bella mushrooms are ideal—they have more flavor than white button mushrooms and hold their shape well in creamy sauces.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

You can, but it will result in a thinner sauce. For a richer Alfredo experience, stick with heavy cream or use half-and-half.

How spicy is the hot honey?

Hot honey adds just a gentle kick. You can increase the heat by mixing in red pepper flakes or use mild honey for a kid-friendly version.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! Cook the chicken and potatoes ahead, store them separately, and combine with the sauce just before serving for best texture.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, as long as your hot honey and Parmesan are gluten-free certified. Always check labels to be sure.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Definitely! Chicken thighs stay juicy and are even more flavorful, making them a great alternative.
