Why You’ll Love This Creamy Mushroom Garlic Chicken Alfredo & Hot Honey Roasted Potatoes

This is a recipe built for flavor lovers. The Alfredo sauce is made with real cream, fresh garlic, and Parmesan for that authentic richness. Mushrooms lend it depth, chicken brings the hearty bite, and the potatoes? They’re a game-changer. Roasted until crisp and then drizzled with hot honey, they contrast perfectly with the creamy pasta.

You can prepare most of this ahead of time, making it perfect for entertaining. It also makes fantastic leftovers, if there are any. Whether you’re feeding two or ten, this dish will impress.

What Kind of Mushrooms Should I Use?

You have plenty of options here, and the good news is that most varieties will work well. Baby bella mushrooms are a go-to thanks to their meaty texture and bold flavor. White button mushrooms are milder and more budget-friendly. If you want to elevate things even more, try a mix that includes shiitake or oyster mushrooms for a gourmet twist.

Be sure to clean your mushrooms gently with a damp cloth and avoid soaking them in water, which can make them rubbery. Sautéing them until golden brown brings out their umami-rich essence that balances the creamy Alfredo beautifully.

Garlic: The heart of flavor in both the sauce and potatoes, garlic brings warmth and intensity.
Heavy cream: This forms the base of the Alfredo, lending a silky, luxurious texture.
Parmesan cheese: Freshly grated for sharp, salty bite and classic Alfredo creaminess.
Fettuccine pasta: A hearty noodle that holds the sauce beautifully.
Butter: For sautéing and enriching the sauce with flavor.
Yukon gold potatoes: Creamy-centered and crisp-edged when roasted, perfect for soaking up hot honey.
Olive oil: Helps crisp the potatoes and gives the chicken a golden crust.

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

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss the diced Yukon gold potatoes in olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy. Once out of the oven, drizzle generously with hot honey and toss to coat.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil and a touch of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let rest before slicing.

Step 3: Sauté the Mushrooms & Garlic

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

Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5: Cook the Pasta

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain the rest. Toss the pasta in the Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for a silky finish.

Step 6: Assemble and Serve

Slice the rested chicken and add to the saucy pasta. Plate with a generous serving of hot honey roasted potatoes on the side. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately and savor every bite.

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

This dish is rich and hearty enough to serve as a complete meal on its own. It comfortably feeds four people, making it ideal for small gatherings or cozy family dinners. When plating, aim for a generous heap of saucy Alfredo pasta topped with sliced chicken, with a warm pile of roasted potatoes nestled beside it. A sprinkle of chopped parsley adds that fresh pop to balance all the creaminess.

To store, let everything cool to room temperature. Transfer the pasta and chicken into an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The potatoes should be stored separately to keep their texture from getting soggy. Reheat pasta on the stove with a splash of cream or milk to loosen the sauce, and warm the potatoes in an oven or air fryer to bring back their crispiness.
