Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 cloves garlic (2 for chicken marinade, 2 for potatoes)
  • Fresh herbs: oregano and rosemary
  • Olive oil
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Optional: 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by mixing coconut milk, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let sit for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Grill the marinated chicken on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through.
  3. For the roasted potatoes, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until crispy.
  4. Prepare the coconut-infused mushroom basil pesto cream sauce by sautéing chopped mushrooms and garlic until soft. Blend with basil leaves, coconut milk, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Serve the grilled chicken over the crispy potatoes and drizzle with the pesto sauce.
