Ingredients
400 g chicken breast
1 tablespoon Greek chili seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
500 g Yukon gold potatoes, cubed
200 g asparagus, trimmed
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
150 ml heavy cream
100 g smoked feta cheese, crumbled
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix olive oil, Greek chili seasoning, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Toss in the chicken and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss cubed Yukon potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway.
3. Arrange trimmed asparagus on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle Parmesan over the top. Roast during the last 15 minutes of the potatoes’ cook time.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown.
5. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream on low. Add crumbled smoked feta and stir until melted and smooth. Add lemon zest, garlic, and pepper. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes.
6. Plate the chicken and pour the smoked feta Alfredo sauce over it. Serve with the roasted potatoes and crispy asparagus.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra cracked pepper if desired.
Notes
For a stronger smoky flavor, add a few drops of liquid smoke if you’re using regular feta.
Use chicken thighs for a juicier, more flavorful result.
Don’t skip the lemon zest—it brings freshness and balances the creaminess.
