Why You’ll Love This Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

This recipe offers a stunning combination of texture and flavor that feels both indulgent and fresh. The chili-marinated chicken breast delivers warmth without overpowering heat. Smoked feta cream gives the Alfredo sauce a Greek twist that’s creamy with a punch of briny character. And the parmesan asparagus? Crispy, savory, and perfect for scooping up leftover sauce. This isn’t just another pasta recipe—it’s a full-on flavor experience that looks beautiful on the plate.

What Kind of Feta Should I Use for the Smoked Feta Cream?

For the richest, most flavorful result, use block-style Greek feta in brine—not the pre-crumbled kind. The texture is creamier, and it blends beautifully into sauces. If you have access to a smoker or stovetop smoking method, give it a quick smoke session over cherry or oak chips for extra depth. Otherwise, you can find smoked feta at specialty stores or substitute regular feta with a touch of liquid smoke for a quick cheat that still adds bold flavor.

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

Step 1: Marinate and Sear the Chicken

Season your chicken breasts with olive oil, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let them sit for 15 minutes to soak in the flavor. Sear them in a hot pan until golden on both sides and cooked through. Set aside to rest.

Step 2: Roast the Parmesan Asparagus

Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, grated parmesan, and a handful of panko. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Boil the pasta in well-salted water until al dente. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 4: Make the Smoked Feta Alfredo Sauce

In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Add crumbled smoked feta and parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Add lemon zest and adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.

Step 5: Bring It All Together

Slice the rested chicken and add it to the sauce along with the cooked pasta. Toss to coat evenly and heat through. Finish with chopped fresh parsley.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Plate the creamy pasta and top with crispy parmesan asparagus. Serve hot and garnish with extra feta or parsley if desired.

How to Serve and Store the Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

This rich and comforting dish is best served hot, straight from the skillet. The pasta holds its creamy texture, the chicken stays juicy, and the asparagus keeps its golden crisp. For presentation, swirl the pasta on the plate, top with sliced chili chicken, and arrange the parmesan asparagus spears on the side. A sprinkle of parsley or extra smoked feta adds that finishing touch.

This recipe feeds 4 hearty portions. If you have leftovers, store the pasta and chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keep the asparagus separate to retain its crunch when reheating. Warm everything in a pan over low heat with a splash of cream or milk to bring the sauce back to life.
