How To Make the Herbed Chicken Alfredo with Truffle Feta Cream

Step 1: Prep & Season the Chicken

Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks and season generously with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs. Let it rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 2: Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet. Sear the chicken on medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 3: Crisp the Parmesan Leeks

Toss thinly sliced leeks with olive oil and grated parmesan. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F until golden and crispy. Set aside.

Step 4: Make the Truffle Feta Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, crumble in feta cheese, and whisk until melted and smooth. Drizzle in truffle oil and stir in grated parmesan. Simmer until slightly thickened.

Step 5: Combine & Serve

Return the seared chicken to the skillet, coat with the Alfredo sauce, and heat until warmed through. Top with crispy leeks and a sprinkle of lemon zest if desired. Serve immediately.

How to Serve and Store This Creamy Chicken Alfredo

Serve this dish over fresh fettuccine, creamy mashed potatoes, or even steamed cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option. Garnish with extra herbs and parmesan for a stunning finish.

For storage, allow leftovers to cool and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream to restore the velvety texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking it fresh?

Absolutely! Just skip the searing step and warm the shredded rotisserie chicken directly in the Alfredo sauce.

What can I use instead of truffle oil?

You can substitute white wine or a splash of balsamic glaze for a different twist on depth and tang.

Is there a dairy-free version of this?

Yes—use full-fat coconut cream and a plant-based feta and parmesan alternative.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can prep the sauce and leeks in advance. Reheat and add fresh-cooked chicken for the best flavor.

What pasta works best with this sauce?

Fettuccine, tagliatelle, and penne are ideal choices because they hold the creamy sauce well.
