Why You’ll Love This Spinach-Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo & Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

The contrast of creamy Alfredo and crispy roasted broccoli creates a flavor and texture experience that’s irresistible. The Greek seasoning adds a sunny, herbal lift to the chicken, while the artichokes and spinach give a fresh balance to the rich sauce. The mushroom basil cream is the kind of side you’ll want to drizzle over everything on your plate.

What Kind of Artichokes Should I Use?

You can use canned, jarred, or frozen artichoke hearts for this recipe, but make sure they’re plain or marinated without overpowering flavors. Canned and jarred varieties are convenient and ready to go, while frozen artichokes may need a quick blanch before adding. Avoid those packed in heavy brine or vinegar, as they can make the sauce too tangy and overpower the Alfredo base.

How To Make the Spinach-Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo & Crispy Parmesan Broccoli with Mushroom Basil Cream

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Pat the chicken breasts dry and coat them with Greek seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear on both sides until golden and cooked through. Set aside to rest before slicing.

Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo Base

In the same skillet, add Alfredo sauce and warm gently. Stir in chopped spinach and artichoke hearts, letting them soften and meld with the sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 3: Roast the Parmesan Broccoli

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan. Spread on a baking sheet and roast until crispy and golden, about 15 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Mushroom Basil Cream

In a saucepan, sauté sliced mushrooms in olive oil until tender. Add a splash of cream and simmer. Stir in chopped basil just before serving for a burst of fresh flavor.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Slice the chicken and arrange over pasta coated in the spinach-artichoke Alfredo. Serve with crispy Parmesan broccoli on the side, topped with mushroom basil cream.

Serving and Storing This Spinach-Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo & Crispy Parmesan Broccoli with Mushroom Basil Cream

This recipe is hearty enough to serve as a main course for four people. For best presentation, plate the pasta first, top it with sliced Greek-seasoned chicken, and place the crispy Parmesan broccoli alongside with a generous drizzle of mushroom basil cream. If you have leftovers, store each component separately in airtight containers. The pasta and chicken will keep in the fridge for up to three days, while the broccoli is best enjoyed within two days to preserve its crispness. Reheat gently to maintain the textures.
