Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 2 chicken breasts; 1 tablespoon Greek chili seasoning; 8 ounces fettuccine pasta; 1 cup smoked feta cheese, crumbled; 1 cup heavy cream; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1 bunch asparagus spears; 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper

If you crave bold Mediterranean flavors and can’t resist a creamy pasta dish, this Ultimate Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo is a must-try. We start with tender chili-spiced chicken breasts, grilled to juicy perfection, and lay them atop a bed of al dente fettuccine coated in a smoked feta cream sauce. Add a final flourish of roasted asparagus tossed in parmesan for that crisp-cheesy bite, and you’ve got a meal that’s indulgent and unforgettable.

The real twist here is the creamy smoked feta sauce. Infused with garlic and Greek herbs, it cuts through the chili’s heat with a cool, tangy richness. It’s everything you love about Alfredo but leveled up with gourmet Greek flair. Whether you’re cooking for date night, meal prepping for the week, or just treating yourself, this dish brings restaurant-worthy sophistication straight to your kitchen.

What Kind of Chili Should I Use for the Chicken?

For this recipe, go with a mild to medium Greek chili powder or even a smoky paprika blend. You want enough heat to give the chicken its signature kick but not overpower the smoked feta cream. You can also experiment with Aleppo pepper flakes or crushed Calabrian chilis for a more authentic Mediterranean punch. Just avoid anything overly spicy that might drown out the creamy sauce.

Ingredients for the Ultimate Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

Chicken Breasts: These serve as the main protein, grilled and seasoned to perfection with a chili spice blend.

Greek Chili Seasoning: Brings warmth and complexity to the chicken without overwhelming the dish. Think chili flakes, smoked paprika, and oregano.

Fettuccine Pasta: The ideal noodle for holding the thick, rich Alfredo sauce. Use fresh or dried based on your time.

Smoked Feta Cheese: A bold twist on traditional feta, offering creaminess with a smoky undertone that defines the sauce.

Heavy Cream: Forms the base of the Alfredo, creating that velvety texture you expect from this iconic sauce.

Garlic: Finely minced to infuse the sauce with savory depth.

Fresh Lemon Juice: Just a splash brightens the richness of the cream and enhances the feta’s tang.

Parmesan Cheese: Shredded and roasted on the asparagus to give it that golden, crispy edge.

Asparagus Spears: Roasted until crisp-tender for a fresh and slightly bitter contrast to the creamy pasta.

Olive Oil: Used for roasting and sauteing—go for extra virgin to match the Mediterranean flavor profile.

Salt & Cracked Black Pepper: For seasoning every layer to perfection.

How To Make the Ultimate Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

Step 1: Season and Grill the Chicken

Pat chicken breasts dry and rub generously with your Greek chili seasoning. Heat olive oil in a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F), about 6-7 minutes per side. Let it rest before slicing.

Step 2: Roast the Asparagus

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Trim the ends off the asparagus and place them on a lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle generously with parmesan. Roast for 12-15 minutes until the tips are crispy and golden.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

While the asparagus roasts, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.

Step 4: Make the Smoked Feta Cream Sauce

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté garlic for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the crumbled smoked feta and lemon juice. Stir continuously until the feta melts into a creamy sauce. Add salt and cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Toss the drained fettuccine into the skillet with the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen. Stir gently until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy feta goodness.

Step 6: Plate and Garnish

Slice the grilled chili chicken and arrange it on top of the pasta. Serve with roasted parmesan asparagus on the side or layered atop for extra flair. Drizzle a final touch of olive oil and cracked pepper over the dish.

How to Serve and Store This Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

This dish is best served immediately while everything is warm and the sauce is silky. Plate your fettuccine in shallow pasta bowls, top with grilled chicken, and add the parmesan asparagus either on the side or mixed in. A final drizzle of olive oil and squeeze of lemon juice right before serving makes the flavors pop.

To store leftovers, let the dish cool completely, then transfer to airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to revive the sauce. Avoid microwaving the asparagus to maintain its crispness.
