- Make the Alfredo: In another skillet, sauté mushrooms in butter until browned. Add garlic, cook briefly. Stir in cream and simmer. Add parmesan and nutmeg, season with salt and pepper, and simmer until thick and creamy.
- Assemble: Spoon mushroom alfredo as base, layer on crispy potatoes, and top with coconut basil chicken. Garnish with parsley or basil and serve hot.
