Ingredients
4 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
8 ounces fettuccine
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
2 medium potatoes, sliced into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss Brussels sprouts and potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 25–30 minutes until crisp and golden.
2. Season chicken thighs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken 5–7 minutes per side until cooked and slightly charred. Rest.
3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and sauté garlic. Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, stir in Parmesan and lemon juice. Simmer until thickened.
4. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Reserve pasta water. Drain and toss with Alfredo sauce, adding water to thin if needed.
5. Blend feta, tahini, lemon juice, and a splash of water or oil until smooth and creamy.
6. Slice rested chicken. Serve over Alfredo pasta with whipped feta-tahini cream. Add crispy Brussels and potatoes on the side.
Notes
Add lemon juice after the cream has simmered to avoid curdling.
Roast veggies until edges are browned for maximum crunch.
Use pasta water to adjust sauce consistency as needed.
