Why You’ll Love This Ultimate Greek Chicken Alfredo

If you love a cozy pasta night but crave something with more flavor, this Greek Chicken Alfredo hits every note. The sauce alone is worth a swoon—buttery, garlicky, with just enough saltiness from feta cheese to make it exciting. The chicken is marinated to juicy perfection and brings an herby freshness that cuts through the richness. And that broccoli? Roasted until golden and crisp, then tossed with Parmesan to make it utterly irresistible.

It’s also a versatile recipe. You can swap the pasta, adjust the herbs, and even make it gluten-free if needed. Whether you’re cooking for two or feeding a crowd, this dish is easy to scale and sure to become a repeat favorite.

What Kind of Pasta Works Best for Greek Chicken Alfredo?

While fettuccine is traditional for Alfredo, this Greek-inspired version pairs beautifully with penne, rigatoni, or even rotini. You want a pasta that holds the creamy sauce well and gives enough room for the chicken and broccoli to nestle in every bite.

If you’re going gluten-free, look for a chickpea or lentil-based pasta that can stand up to the richness. Want to go low-carb? Try serving it over zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash. The beauty of this recipe is how flexible it is without losing any of the creamy, savory goodness.

The chicken breasts are the hearty protein that soaks up all the Greek-inspired marinade. Olive oil and lemon juice form the base of that marinade, infusing the chicken with brightness and depth. Dried oregano brings that unmistakable Mediterranean aroma, while garlic cloves enhance the savory profile.

Salt and pepper help every ingredient shine, while butter and heavy cream create the silky base of the Alfredo sauce. Feta cheese is the twist that gives the sauce a salty tang, balanced by nutty Parmesan cheese that also crisps up beautifully over the broccoli. The pasta holds it all together, and broccoli florets give a crispy, cheesy contrast that keeps every bite interesting.

How To Make the Ultimate Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

Step 1: Marinate and Sear the Chicken

Combine olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken breasts, turning to coat. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes. Then sear in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through. Remove and let rest before slicing.

Step 2: Roast the Parmesan Broccoli

Preheat your oven to 425°F. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a generous handful of grated Parmesan. Roast for 20-25 minutes until crispy and golden.

Step 3: Make the Feta Alfredo Sauce

In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in crumbled feta and Parmesan, whisking until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Cook the Pasta

Boil your choice of pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve a little pasta water.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Toss the cooked pasta with the feta Alfredo sauce. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen it. Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, and serve with crispy Parmesan broccoli on the side.

Watch Out for These Mistakes While Cooking

Even the most flavor-packed recipes can go sideways with a few easy-to-make mistakes. With this dish, one common misstep is overcooking the chicken. Because the breasts are lean, they can dry out quickly if not watched closely. A good rule of thumb is to sear them until just golden and then let them finish cooking by resting.

Another pitfall? Not roasting the broccoli long enough. You want the edges to get those irresistible browned bits for that crispy Parmesan finish. Undercooked broccoli will feel out of place next to the rich Alfredo.

Finally, don’t rush the sauce. Adding the feta and Parmesan too quickly can lead to graininess. Keep your heat low and stir slowly until smooth. This will give your sauce that dreamy texture you’re after.

How to Serve and Store the Ultimate Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe with Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

This recipe makes enough to serve four generously, but it’s easy to double if you’ve got guests. Serve it immediately for the best flavor and texture. The crispy broccoli is best fresh out of the oven when the cheese is still bubbling and golden.

If you have leftovers, store the pasta and broccoli separately in airtight containers. The pasta will keep well for up to three days in the fridge. Reheat it gently with a splash of milk or cream to bring the sauce back to life. For the broccoli, re-crisp it in the oven or air fryer to restore its crunch.
