What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?

For this dish, boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs work beautifully. Chicken thighs offer more juiciness and flavor, but if you’re looking for a leaner option, go with chicken breasts. Make sure to cut them into even, bite-sized chunks for quick and even searing. Marinate briefly with chili flakes, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano to infuse that Greek-inspired depth of flavor.

Ingredients for the Savory Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Chicken: Essential for the heart of this dish. Use bite-sized chunks of chicken breast or thigh, seasoned well and seared for a golden finish.

Chili Flakes & Greek Seasoning: Adds a spicy kick and signature Mediterranean warmth to the chicken.

Smoked Feta Cheese: The smoky, salty notes bring richness and authenticity to the alfredo sauce.

Heavy Cream: Acts as the base of the alfredo sauce, giving it that luscious, creamy body.

Garlic: Adds aromatic depth to both the chicken and sauce. Don’t skimp on this.

Fresh Herbs (Parsley & Oregano): Brings brightness and contrast to the richness of the cream sauce.

Parmesan Cheese: Grated over asparagus for a crispy, nutty crust that bakes to perfection.

Asparagus: Roasted until crisp-tender, providing a fresh and slightly bitter contrast to the creamy sauce.

Golden Potatoes: Oven-roasted for a crispy, buttery side that rounds out the plate with comfort and texture.

How To Make the Savory Greek Chili Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Step 1: Marinate and Prep the Chicken

Cube your chicken into even bites and marinate it with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chili flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 20 minutes while you prep the sides.

Step 2: Roast the Potatoes and Asparagus

Toss golden potatoes in olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of smoked paprika. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway.

Trim the asparagus ends, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Roast for 12-15 minutes alongside the potatoes until golden and crisp.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

Heat a skillet with a splash of olive oil. Sear the marinated chicken on medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes, or until nicely browned and cooked through.

Step 4: Make the Smoked Feta Alfredo Sauce

In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and simmer gently. Stir in crumbled smoked feta until melted, then finish with fresh parsley and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 5: Plate and Serve

Layer the plate with a scoop of crispy potatoes, the roasted asparagus, chicken bites, and a generous ladle of smoked feta alfredo sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra feta if you like it bold.

Serving and Storing the Dish

This recipe is best served hot, right off the stove and out of the oven. The contrast of the creamy sauce with the crisp veggies and golden chicken is pure magic when fresh. If you have leftovers, store each component separately in airtight containers. Reheat the chicken and sauce on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to bring back the velvety texture. Roasted potatoes and asparagus reheat well in the oven or air fryer for that fresh-crisp bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

How spicy is this dish?

The chili flakes give it a mild to moderate heat, but it’s easy to adjust to your spice preference. Omit or increase based on your taste.

Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?

You can, but making your own smoked feta version brings way more flavor. If you’re short on time, blend store-bought sauce with a bit of feta and garlic to amp it up.

What can I use instead of smoked feta?

Regular feta or even goat cheese works well. For that smoky depth, add a tiny bit of smoked paprika.

Is this dish gluten-free?

Yes, as long as your Parmesan and feta are certified gluten-free and you don’t serve it with pasta or bread.

What wine pairs well with this dish?

Try a chilled Sauvignon Blanc or a light red like Pinot Noir to balance the creaminess and spice.

Can I meal prep this?

Absolutely. Cook the components ahead and store them separately. The sauce might thicken, so thin it when reheating.
