Why You’ll Love This Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

If you’re bored with basic Alfredo, this version wakes up your palate in the best way. The Greek chili seasoning adds smoky warmth without overwhelming heat, while the smoked feta cream provides a complex, savory backbone that feels indulgent yet sophisticated. It’s fast enough for a weeknight, yet fancy enough for guests.

Plus, the crispy Parmesan asparagus on the side means you’re getting your greens in without a fuss. It bakes up at the same time your sauce simmers, keeping the meal efficient and stress-free. This dish brings gourmet flavor with minimal hassle.

What Kind of Chili Should I Use for Greek Flavor?

For a true Greek-inspired taste, opt for a chili powder or blend that includes smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic, and a touch of cinnamon or clove. You can also make your own Greek chili seasoning mix at home to control the balance of flavor. Avoid using Tex-Mex or American chili powders—they’ll throw off the profile. Aim for warmth and depth, not just heat.

Ingredients for the Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo with Smoked Feta Cream & Crispy Parmesan Asparagus

This flavor-packed dish is a balance of comfort and freshness. The ingredient list may look gourmet, but everything is easy to find and comes together beautifully. Each component is essential to give this meal its signature Mediterranean twist.

• Chicken breast: Lean and protein-rich, it absorbs the Greek chili seasoning beautifully.
• Olive oil: Helps to sear the chicken and carries the Mediterranean flavor.
• Greek chili seasoning: The heart of this recipe, infusing the chicken with warm, spiced complexity.
• Garlic cloves: Adds savory depth to the cream sauce.
• Heavy cream: The base for our velvety Alfredo-style sauce.
• Smoked feta cheese: A tangy, creamy twist that adds authentic Greek flair.
• Parmesan cheese: Used in both the Alfredo sauce and for coating the asparagus.
• Pasta (fettuccine or penne): Something sturdy to hold the rich sauce.
• Fresh asparagus: Brings freshness and texture to balance the richness.
• Butter: Adds silkiness to the sauce and helps roast the asparagus.
• Salt and pepper: Enhances and balances every layer of flavor.

How To Make the Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo with Smoked Feta Cream & Crispy Parmesan Asparagus

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Season chicken breasts generously with Greek chili seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear the chicken in olive oil for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and let rest.

Step 2: Prepare the Parmesan Asparagus

While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F. Lay trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with melted butter, sprinkle with salt, and top generously with shredded Parmesan. Roast for 12-15 minutes until crisp and golden.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 4: Make the Smoked Feta Cream Sauce

In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, reduce the heat, and stir in crumbled smoked feta and grated Parmesan. Let it simmer until thickened, adding reserved pasta water if needed to adjust consistency.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Slice the rested chicken and add to the sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta until everything is evenly coated. Serve hot, plated with a side of crispy Parmesan asparagus. Optionally, garnish with more feta or a sprinkle of chili flakes for extra heat.

How to Serve and Store Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

This creamy Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo is best served fresh, when the sauce is at its silkiest and the Parmesan asparagus is still crisp. Plate the pasta in warm bowls, layering sliced chicken over top and finishing with a drizzle of extra sauce and a few crumbles of smoked feta. Tuck in those golden asparagus spears on the side for a complete and elegant presentation.

If you have leftovers, let everything cool before storing. Place in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce. The asparagus will lose its crispness but still retains great flavor.
