Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
1 tablespoon Greek chili flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup smoked feta cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
8 oz fettuccine pasta
1 bunch fresh asparagus
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
1. Season chicken breasts with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, Greek chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Grill or sear chicken on medium-high heat until cooked through, then let rest and slice.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Roast for 12-15 minutes until golden.
4. Melt butter in a saucepan, add garlic, then pour in heavy cream and simmer. Add crumbled smoked feta and whisk until smooth.
5. Boil fettuccine in salted water, drain, and toss directly into Alfredo sauce.
6. Plate pasta, top with grilled chicken, and serve with crispy Parmesan asparagus. Garnish as desired.
Notes
Smoked feta adds a bold twist—regular feta can be substituted, but the smoky flavor will be less intense.
Marinate chicken for longer if time allows for deeper flavor.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal texture and taste.
