Ingredients
1 lb chicken breast
2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1½ cups heavy cream
2 tbsp butter
¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
8 oz fettuccine pasta
½ cup feta cheese
2 tbsp tahini
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp lemon juice
1½ cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1½ cups baby potatoes, quartered
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss halved Brussels sprouts and quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes until crispy and golden.
2. Season chicken breasts with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sear in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest, then slice into strips.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add minced garlic and cook briefly. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan and stir until melted and thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Boil fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Drain and toss directly into the Alfredo sauce.
5. In a food processor, blend feta, tahini, lemon juice, and a garlic clove. Add water or olive oil to thin if needed for drizzling.
6. Plate pasta and top with sliced chicken. Drizzle with feta-tahini cream. Serve with crispy Brussels and potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
This recipe works great with leftover grilled chicken for a quicker meal.
Don’t overheat the Alfredo sauce—gentle simmering keeps it smooth.
The feta-tahini sauce can be made ahead and stored for up to 3 days.
