1 tablespoon butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
For the Garlic Potatoes:
3 cups baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto:
1/3 cup tahini
1 tablespoon hot honey
1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup cold water (or more to thin)

Swap chicken thighs with breasts if preferred, but adjust cook time.
Use full-fat coconut milk instead of cream for a dairy-free variation.
The tahini pesto also pairs well with roasted veggies or grain bowls.
For extra heat, add more chili flakes to the pesto.
