How To Make the Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Cube your chicken and coat it with olive oil, chili spice blend, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate while you prep other ingredients.

Step 2: Roast the Asparagus

Toss asparagus in olive oil, salt, and grated parmesan. Roast on a sheet pan at 400°F for 15 minutes until golden and crispy on the tips.

Step 3: Pan-Fry the Potatoes

Dice your potatoes and pan-fry in olive oil and butter until golden, about 10-12 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a touch of garlic powder.

Step 4: Sear the Chicken

Heat a cast iron skillet and sear chicken until cooked through and browned on all sides. Set aside.

Step 5: Make the Smoked Feta Cream Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, add butter and heavy cream. Stir in crumbled smoked feta and whisk until melted. Add a bit of parmesan and black pepper to thicken and enhance flavor.

Step 6: Assemble & Serve

Plate the potatoes, roasted asparagus, and seared chicken around a generous drizzle of the smoked feta cream. Garnish with parsley.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Delight

Serve this dish hot with a spoonful of extra sauce on the side. It pairs beautifully with a fresh lemon wedge or a simple cucumber salad to lighten the rich flavors. Store leftovers in airtight containers—they last up to 3 days in the fridge. To reheat, gently warm the sauce separately to preserve its creamy texture, then combine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this Alfredo different from the traditional kind?

The smoked feta adds a tangy, smoky twist that replaces some of the parmesan, creating a deeper Mediterranean flavor.

Can I use a different cheese if I don’t have smoked feta?

Yes! Regular feta or even goat cheese will work, though you’ll lose the smokiness. Try adding a drop of liquid smoke to mimic it.

Is this recipe spicy?

It has a gentle heat from chili flakes, but it’s not overwhelmingly spicy. You can adjust the chili level to your preference.

Can I make it dairy-free?

You can substitute coconut cream for heavy cream and use a plant-based feta alternative, though the flavor will vary.

What protein alternatives work well?

Grilled shrimp or seared halloumi are great swaps for chicken in this dish.
