4. Set aside and keep warm.

🍄🧄🌿 Truffle Mushroom Pesto Alfredo Cream Sauce

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp butter 🧈
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for a subtle pesto touch) 🌿
• 1½ cups heavy cream
• ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
• 2–3 tsp white truffle oil (adjust to taste) 🍄
• Salt & freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
• Shaved Parmesan, for topping

Instructions:

1. In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are soft and lightly browned.
3. If using fresh basil:
   • Option 1: Add directly to the skillet and cook for 1 minute.
   • Option 2: For a smoother pesto effect, pulse sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and basil in a food processor, then return to skillet.
4. Pour in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan until smooth and melted.
5. Add truffle oil, stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper.
6. Keep warm on low heat.

🍽️ Assembly & Serving:

1. Divide crispy sage potatoes among serving bowls.
2. Top with the Parmesan-garlic chicken bites.
3. Generously ladle the truffle mushroom Alfredo cream over the top.
4. Finish with a flourish of shaved Parmesan.
5. Serve immediately and enjoy every rich, savory, herb-laced bite.

💡 Tips for Success:

• Truffle Oil: Use a high-quality white truffle oil. Start small—2 tsp goes a long way.
• Chicken Crust: Press Parmesan firmly onto the chicken before cooking to help it adhere and crisp.
• Potato Perfection: Don’t overcrowd the pan—spacing ensures a golden, crispy finish.
• Fresh Sage: For the most aromatic flavor, opt for fresh sage over dried.
• Creamy Balance: If sauce thickens too much, thin with a splash of warm milk or broth.
