🔥 Instructions:

1️⃣ Sauté the Chicken & Veggies

In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken, garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, and zucchini. Stir-fry until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.

2️⃣ Roast the Potatoes

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss potato cubes with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast 20–25 min, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

3️⃣ Make the Creamy Sauce

In the same skillet (or a clean one), melt butter over medium heat. Add mushrooms and garlic; cook until softened. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes. Pour in cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in Parmesan until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

4️⃣ Add Mozzarella & Combine

Return chicken and veggies to the skillet. Stir to coat in the Alfredo sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella over top, cover, and let melt until gooey.

5️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

Plate the crispy potatoes, spoon the creamy chicken stir-fry over top, and serve immediately. ✨

💡 Chef’s Tips

▶️Prep in advance: Chop veggies and potatoes early for a faster dinner.

▶️Boost flavor: Use the oil from sun-dried tomatoes instead of plain olive oil for cooking the chicken.

▶️Make it lighter: Swap half the cream with milk for a lighter (but still creamy) sauce.
