Take your weeknight dinner game up several notches with this Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo. It marries creamy indulgence with a zesty Mediterranean kick. Picture fork-tender chicken tossed in a chili-spiced Alfredo sauce infused with smoked feta, then paired with golden, crispy parmesan asparagus that practically crackles with flavor.

This dish isn’t just a comfort food upgrade—it’s a full sensory experience. The creaminess of the Alfredo is contrasted by the smokiness of feta and the gentle heat from Greek chili flakes, while the asparagus offers a savory, crunchy bite on the side. It feels fancy without being fussy and is guaranteed to impress whether you’re serving guests or just elevating a solo Tuesday night.

Why You’ll Love This Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

You’ll fall hard for this recipe because it brings something fresh to a beloved classic. The chili flakes are subtle but present, providing a beautiful warmth that doesn’t overpower. Smoked feta adds depth and mystery to the Alfredo sauce, making it unlike anything you’ve had from a jar. The crispy asparagus makes it a balanced meal, turning a pasta night into a proper feast. And it all comes together in under an hour.

What Kind of Feta Should I Use?

The feta you choose really matters here. Opt for a block of feta in brine—specifically a smoked feta if you can find it. It will melt more smoothly into the sauce, creating that velvety texture you want from Alfredo. Crumbled feta can work in a pinch, but it won’t offer the same smoky dimension or richness. If smoked feta isn’t available, regular brined feta combined with a touch of smoked paprika can do the trick.

How To Make the Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken

Slice the chicken breast into strips and season with salt, pepper, and Greek chili flakes. In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle some olive oil and sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Crumble in the smoked feta and stir until melted. Add in grated parmesan and stir until the sauce becomes thick and silky.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining.

Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the pasta to the Alfredo sauce, tossing it to coat. If the sauce feels too thick, a splash of reserved pasta water will loosen it perfectly. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss again.

Step 5: Roast the Asparagus

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and top with a generous layer of panko and parmesan. Roast for about 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Plate the creamy pasta and top with extra chili flakes if desired. Serve alongside crispy parmesan asparagus and maybe a squeeze of lemon to brighten it all up.

Serving and Storing Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo

This recipe feeds about four hungry people or six if you’re serving smaller portions with appetizers or a side salad. It makes for a beautiful dinner presentation and even better leftovers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days. The sauce may thicken in the fridge, but a splash of cream or milk when reheating will bring it back to life.

To reheat, use the stovetop for best results. Warm the Alfredo gently over low heat and stir in a touch of extra cream or pasta water if it needs loosening. Avoid microwaving if you want to preserve the smooth texture of the sauce.
