Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast
1 tsp Greek chili flakes (or Aleppo pepper)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 cup smoked feta cheese, crumbled
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
⅓ cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
1. Slice the chicken breast into strips and season with salt, pepper, and Greek chili flakes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and simmer.
4. Stir in smoked feta until melted, then add parmesan cheese and mix until the sauce thickens.
5. Cook fettuccine pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve some pasta water, then drain.
6. Toss the cooked pasta in the Alfredo sauce, adding pasta water to loosen if needed. Return chicken to the skillet and mix.
7. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and top with panko and parmesan.
8. Roast asparagus for 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp.
9. Plate the pasta with chicken and serve alongside crispy asparagus. Add more chili flakes or lemon if desired.
Notes
Smoked feta adds depth—if unavailable, use regular feta with ¼ tsp smoked paprika.
Reserve pasta water—it’s the secret to silky sauce.
Don’t skip the asparagus—it balances the richness with crisp texture.
