Heavy Cream: Forms the rich, velvety backbone of the Alfredo sauce.
Parmesan Cheese: Adds sharp, nutty depth to the cream, making the sauce luscious.

Butter: Helps to sauté and adds creamy body to the sauce.
Olive Oil: Used for searing the chicken and roasting the potatoes.
Baby Potatoes: Roast to crispy perfection and hold the hot honey glaze well.

Honey: The sweet component in the hot honey glaze.
Chili Flakes: Add the spicy heat to balance the sweetness in the glaze.

Salt & Pepper: Essential for seasoning and enhancing all the flavors.

How To Make the Delicious Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Mushrooms & Garlic

In the same skillet, add butter and mushrooms. Cook until softened, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream, whisking to combine. Add grated Parmesan cheese, stir until smooth and creamy. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Return Chicken to the Skillet

Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Coat with the Alfredo sauce and let it simmer together for a few minutes.

Step 5: Roast the Potatoes

Halve baby potatoes, toss them in olive oil, salt, pepper, and roast at 425°F for 25–30 minutes until crispy.

Step 6: Add the Hot Honey Glaze

Mix honey and chili flakes in a bowl. Once potatoes are done, drizzle with the hot honey glaze and toss to coat.

Step 7: Plate and Garnish

Serve the creamy chicken Alfredo alongside the hot honey roasted potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley and a touch of cracked pepper.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

Serve this hearty dish while it’s warm for the ultimate comfort meal. Plate the chicken generously coated in that creamy Alfredo sauce alongside a scoop of the crispy hot honey roasted potatoes. Garnish with extra parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan if desired. It pairs beautifully with a side of steamed green beans or a simple arugula salad if you want to lighten up the meal.

To store leftovers, let everything cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. The Alfredo sauce may thicken upon refrigeration, but you can loosen it up with a splash of cream or milk when reheating.

For best results, reheat on the stove over low heat. If microwaving, add a little liquid to maintain the sauce’s creamy texture. Potatoes are best reheated in the oven or air fryer to regain their crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of chicken works best?

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are perfect, but thighs can be used for extra juiciness and flavor.

Can I use milk instead of heavy cream?

You can, but it will result in a thinner sauce. For richness, whole milk is the better substitute if you’re avoiding cream.

How spicy is the hot honey glaze?

It has a subtle kick. You can control the heat level by adjusting the chili flakes to your preference.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Absolutely. Prepare the Alfredo and potatoes ahead, store separately, and reheat just before serving for the best texture.

Is there a vegetarian version?

You can skip the chicken and double up on the mushrooms or use tofu or plant-based chicken alternatives.

What wine pairs well with this dish?

A chilled glass of Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio complements the creamy sauce and balances the sweetness of the honey potatoes.
