Instructions
Preparation Steps
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until golden.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, season with oregano, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the chicken. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until a creamy sauce forms. Add the cooked pasta and combine well.
Serve the chicken alfredo with roasted garlic potatoes on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.
Notes
This dish pairs beautifully with a fresh salad. Add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness!
