Why You’ll Love This Herbed Chicken Alfredo

This recipe is what you make when you want pasta night to feel like a restaurant-level experience at home. The truffle oil adds a sophisticated aroma, while the feta brings a tangy depth to the Alfredo base that cuts through the richness just right. Crispy parmesan leeks are the crown jewel, adding texture and salty crunch you didn’t know you needed.

Best of all, it comes together without complicated steps. With simple, high-quality ingredients and clever layering, you get a beautiful, creamy pasta dish that feels extravagant without needing hours in the kitchen.

What Kind of Feta Should I Use for the Truffle Cream Sauce?

For the truffle feta cream, go with a block-style feta cheese packed in brine. This type melts smoother and has a cleaner, tangier flavor compared to pre-crumbled varieties. It also balances the earthy truffle notes without overpowering them. Bulgarian or French feta work particularly well if you can find them. If you only have crumbled feta, no worries—just blend it into the sauce to help it melt more evenly.

Ingredients for the Herbed Chicken Alfredo with Truffle Feta Cream & Crispy Parmesan Leeks

To create this dish with its layered flavors and textures, every ingredient has a specific role. From the herbed chicken to the creamy feta sauce and crisped leeks, each component builds a complex and deeply satisfying bite.

Chicken breasts
Olive oil
Italian seasoning

Salt
Black pepper
Leeks
Grated Parmesan cheese
Butter
Heavy cream
Feta cheese (block-style, in brine)
Truffle oil
Pasta (fettuccine or tagliatelle works great)

The chicken breasts are the protein star, seared and seasoned to bring bold herby flavor. Olive oil is key for searing and flavor base. Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper add classic aromatic notes. Leeks get transformed into crispy ribbons, enhanced by the sharp bite of grated Parmesan cheese. The Alfredo base starts with butter and heavy cream, turned unique with crumbled feta cheese and a touch of truffle oil. Choose fettuccine or tagliatelle for noodles that cling to creamy sauces. Finish with fresh parsley and lemon zest for vibrant freshness.

How To Make the Herbed Chicken Alfredo with Truffle Feta Cream & Crispy Parmesan Leeks

Step 1: Sear the Herbed Chicken

Season the chicken breasts generously with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside to rest, then slice.

Step 2: Crisp the Parmesan Leeks

Thinly slice the white part of the leeks, pat dry, and toss with grated parmesan. Pan-fry in a bit of olive oil or butter until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Truffle Feta Alfredo Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Crumble in the feta cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle in the truffle oil, adjust seasoning, and keep warm.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

Boil fettuccine or tagliatelle according to package instructions in salted water. Reserve a little pasta water before draining.

Step 5: Combine & Assemble

Toss the cooked pasta into the truffle feta cream sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen it. Top with sliced chicken, a shower of crispy leeks, fresh parsley, and lemon zest before serving.

How to Serve and Store Herbed Chicken Alfredo with Truffle Feta Cream & Crispy Parmesan Leeks

This rich and creamy Alfredo dish is best served immediately while the sauce is warm and silky, and the parmesan leeks are at their crispiest. Plate it in wide, shallow bowls so the truffle feta cream can beautifully pool at the base and coat each ribbon of pasta. Garnish with extra parsley and a whisper of lemon zest for that pop of color and freshness.

This recipe comfortably feeds four hungry eaters or stretches to six lighter portions, especially when served with sides. If you’re planning ahead, cook and store components separately: the chicken, sauce, and pasta can each be refrigerated in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce gently on the stove with a splash of cream or milk to loosen it. The leeks, however, are best enjoyed fresh and crispy.
