Description
This Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo combines creamy Alfredo sauce with a bold Mediterranean kick. Perfectly seasoned chicken, rich cream, and feta cheese come together in a spicy, comforting pasta dish you’ll want to make again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (around 1.5 pounds) – swap: turkey breast for leaner option
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta – swap: whole grain or gluten-free pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes – swap: more or less based on spice tolerance
- 1 cup heavy cream – swap: half-and-half or Greek yogurt for lighter option
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the fettuccine according to package directions. Save about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
- Season the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side until done. Remove and set aside to rest.
- Reduce the heat and add heavy cream to the same skillet. Stir in Parmesan and let it melt into a creamy sauce.
- Mix in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sliced chicken, returning the chicken to the pan.
- Add cooked fettuccine to the skillet. Toss everything well. If the sauce is too thick, stir in reserved pasta water a little at a time.
- Top with crumbled feta and fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Want some crunch? Top it with roasted pine nuts or slivered almonds before serving. This dish is great for make-ahead meals—just add a splash of cream or milk while reheating to refresh the sauce.
