Why You’ll Love This Herbed Chicken Alfredo with Truffle Feta Cream

You get the comfort of Alfredo with a gourmet twist that doesn’t involve hours in the kitchen. The herbed chicken is juicy and flavorful, the truffle feta cream brings an irresistible tang and umami richness, and the leeks offer crispy contrast. It’s a showstopper that still feels cozy.

What Kind of Truffle Feta Should I Use?

Choose a feta that’s soft and creamy rather than dry and crumbly. Many specialty stores carry truffle-infused feta, which marries beautifully with cream-based sauces. If you can’t find it, regular feta can be blended with a small amount of truffle oil to mimic the flavor profile. Just remember to go light with the truffle—a little goes a long way.

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

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken

Season chicken breasts generously with salt, pepper, chopped fresh thyme, and rosemary. Sear them in olive oil until golden and cooked through. Set aside and let rest.

Step 2: Make the Truffle Feta Alfredo Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and let it simmer gently. Stir in crumbled truffle feta and grated parmesan until smooth and velvety. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 3: Cook the Fettuccine

Boil pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.

Step 4: Crisp the Leeks

Thinly slice leeks and toss with parmesan and a touch of olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and roast or air-fry until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Assemble

Toss pasta in the Alfredo sauce, slice the chicken, and arrange on top. Finish with a handful of crispy parmesan leeks for texture and a pop of flavor.

Watch Out for These Mistakes While Cooking

Don’t rush the sauce. Let the cream reduce slightly before adding the cheeses, or it can turn out too runny. Be careful not to overcook the chicken—it should be golden and just cooked through to stay juicy. And when crisping the leeks, spread them out well on the baking sheet; overcrowding will steam them instead of crisping.

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

This dish is best served fresh, right after assembling, while the sauce is hot and the leeks are still crispy. It serves four generously. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream to revive the sauce, and re-crisp the leeks in a toaster oven or air fryer for the best texture.
