Why You’ll Love This Greek Chicken Alfredo & Garlic Potatoes

This isn’t your typical Alfredo dinner. It’s cozy and satisfying like any creamy pasta should be, but it surprises you with fresh Greek flavors like oregano, lemon, and feta. The garlic potatoes add heartiness and crunch, while the tahini pesto brings complexity with every drop. Whether you’re cooking for family or entertaining guests, this recipe balances elegance and comfort in every way.

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use?

Fettuccine is a classic for Alfredo, but don’t feel locked in. You can easily use linguine, penne, or even orzo for a twist. If you’re after something gluten-free or higher in protein, chickpea or lentil pasta works great too. The important part is to choose a pasta shape that can hold onto that creamy, dreamy sauce.

How To Make the Greek Chicken Alfredo & Garlic Potatoes with Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto

Step 1: Prep and Roast the Garlic Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Cut the Yukon gold potatoes into bite-sized wedges, toss them with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and oregano. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Boil a pot of salted water and cook the fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, lemon zest, and oregano. In a skillet with olive oil, sear on medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through. Slice and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Pour in the heavy cream and stir until it gently simmers. Add crumbled feta and stir until melted into a thick, creamy sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix well. Use a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.

Step 5: Make the Spicy Hot Honey Tahini Pesto

In a small blender, combine tahini, hot honey, lemon juice, basil, parsley, salt, and a tablespoon of water. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness or heat as preferred.

Step 6: Plate It All

Serve the creamy Alfredo pasta with slices of chicken on top, nestle the crispy garlic potatoes on the side, and drizzle generously with the tahini pesto. Finish with extra herbs and crumbled feta if you like.

Serving and Storing Greek Chicken Alfredo & Garlic Potatoes

This dish is incredibly satisfying on its own and can easily feed 4 to 6 people depending on portion size. It’s a hearty meal with balanced richness and zing, and it’s best served hot straight from the pan. The tahini pesto can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days, and any leftover pasta and potatoes can be kept in airtight containers and refrigerated for 3 days. Reheat gently over the stove with a splash of cream or water to bring the sauce back to life.
