Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 yellow squash, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil (for zucchini)
1/3 cup grated parmesan (for zucchini)
1/2 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice (for feta)
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic, then add heavy cream.
4. Stir in grated parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped dill. Simmer until thickened.
5. In a food processor, blend feta, roasted red peppers, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.
6. Toss zucchini and squash with olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan.
7. Roast on a sheet pan at 425°F for 20 minutes until crisp.
8. Slice chicken and serve over Alfredo sauce, topped with whipped feta.
9. Plate with roasted zucchini and garnish with more dill and lemon zest.
Notes
Use fresh dill and lemon zest for maximum flavor brightness.
Don’t overcrowd the zucchini on the sheet pan—spread in a single layer for best crispiness.
Let the feta whip fully for a light, airy texture.
