What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

While fettuccine is the classic choice for Alfredo dishes, this Greek-inspired twist plays well with other pasta shapes.

How To Make the Ultimate Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and lemon zest. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then sear the chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Step 2: Roast the Broccoli

Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a generous amount of grated parmesan and breadcrumbs. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for about 20 minutes until crispy.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

While the broccoli is roasting, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Reserve a bit of the pasta water before draining.

Step 4: Make the Greek Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet used for chicken, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until it begins to simmer. Add parmesan and feta cheese, whisking until melted and smooth. Stir in lemon juice for brightness.

Step 5: Assemble and Serve

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. If it feels too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water. Top with sliced chicken and roasted broccoli. Serve hot, garnished with a little more feta or parsley if you like.

How to Serve and Store Ultimate Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

This recipe is hearty enough to feed 4 to 5 people generously, making it perfect for a family dinner or leftovers to stretch into lunch the next day. Serve it straight from the skillet while the sauce is warm and silky, the chicken tender, and the broccoli still crackling with its parmesan crust.

If you have leftovers, let them cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. The pasta keeps well for up to 3 days in the fridge. When reheating, add a splash of milk or water to revive the creamy sauce. The broccoli may lose some crispiness but will still carry that satisfying flavor.
