Why You’ll Love This Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

If you’re craving a pasta dish that stands out from the classic Alfredo, this recipe will quickly earn a spot in your rotation. The hot honey and balsamic glaze add depth and a hint of spice that make each bite pop, while the whipped feta keeps the dish bright and balanced. And let’s be honest — the Brussels chips are so addictive, you might make a separate batch just to snack on.

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

While fettuccine is the traditional partner for Alfredo sauce, you can choose any pasta that holds sauce well. Tagliatelle, pappardelle, or even penne can work beautifully. The key is to cook it al dente so it holds up under the creamy sauce and hearty chicken topping.

Ingredients for the Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

The magic of this recipe lies in the balance between creamy, tangy, sweet, and savory flavors. Each ingredient plays an important role in creating that harmony.

• Chicken breasts – Lean protein that soaks up the balsamic and hot honey glaze beautifully.
• Fettuccine pasta – A classic choice that cradles the creamy Alfredo sauce.
• Heavy cream – The base for that luscious Alfredo texture.
• Parmesan cheese – Adds nutty depth to the sauce.
• Butter – Enriches the Alfredo and gives it a velvety finish.
• Garlic – Infuses the sauce with savory aroma.
• Hot honey – Brings gentle heat and sweetness to the glaze.
• Balsamic vinegar – Adds tangy complexity to the chicken.
• Feta cheese – Whipped for a fluffy, tangy topping.
• Olive oil – For searing the chicken and crisping the Brussels sprouts.
• Brussels sprouts leaves – Baked until shatter-crisp for a fun garnish.
• Salt and pepper – To season every layer perfectly.

How To Make the Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

Step 1: Prepare the Brussels Chips

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Toss the Brussels sprouts leaves in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Step 4: Make the Hot Honey Balsamic Glaze

Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. In the same skillet, add balsamic vinegar and hot honey. Simmer until slightly thickened, then return the chicken to the pan and coat in the glaze.

Step 5: Create the Alfredo Sauce

In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Step 6: Whip the Feta

In a food processor, blend feta cheese with a splash of olive oil until light and fluffy.

Step 7: Assemble the Dish

Toss the pasta in Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess. Slice the glazed chicken and arrange over the pasta. Top with whipped feta and scatter crispy Brussels chips over the top.

Serving and Storing Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

This dish is hearty enough to serve as the star of your dinner table and makes about 4 generous servings. Serve it immediately so the Alfredo sauce stays creamy, the chicken stays juicy, and the Brussels chips keep their crunch. If you have leftovers, store the pasta and chicken separately from the Brussels chips in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of cream or milk to revive the sauce, and crisp the Brussels in the oven before serving again.
