Instructions

1. Mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and marinate for 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss cubed potatoes with butter, sage, salt, and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes until golden.

3. In a skillet, cook chicken thighs over medium heat, 6-7 minutes per side. Set aside.

4. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until golden. Add cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Blend in basil and Parmesan. Stir in chestnuts.

5. Cook fettuccine according to package. Drain and toss in sauce.

6. Serve pasta topped with chicken and potatoes. Garnish with extra sauce, Parmesan, and basil.

Notes

Marinating the chicken longer intensifies the flavor.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a creamier sauce.

Don’t overcook the pasta; al dente texture holds up better with cream sauces.
