What Kind of Alfredo Sauce Should I Use?

Ingredients for the Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

What makes this recipe so irresistible is the mix of flavors that come from each layer of the dish. From the marinated chicken to the creamy whipped feta and the crispy greens, each ingredient plays a starring role in the final flavor explosion.

• Chicken breasts
• Balsamic vinegar
• Hot honey
• Olive oil
• Garlic cloves
• Heavy cream
• Parmesan cheese
• Butter
• Fettuccine pasta
• Brussels sprouts
• Feta cheese
• Greek yogurt
• Salt and pepper

Each item brings something essential. Chicken breasts are the hearty base. Balsamic vinegar adds a deep tangy layer. Hot honey gives it that spicy-sweet contrast. Olive oil and garlic start our flavor foundation. Heavy cream, parmesan, and butter make up our rich Alfredo sauce. Fettuccine is the ideal noodle to soak it all up. Brussels sprouts become crispy chips that add crunch. Feta and Greek yogurt whip into a tangy, creamy topper. And salt and pepper tie everything together.

How To Make the Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo with Whipped Feta & Crispy Brussels Chips

Step 1: Marinate and Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes, then pan-sear in olive oil until browned. Finish with a drizzle of hot honey while it’s still warm.

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Stir in parmesan until smooth. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to adjust the consistency.

Step 3: Cook the Pasta

Boil the fettuccine until al dente. Drain, reserving a bit of pasta water. Toss the pasta in the Alfredo sauce until fully coated.

Step 4: Whip the Feta

Blend feta cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy. You want a light, whipped texture.

Step 5: Make the Brussels Chips

Thinly slice Brussels sprouts, toss in olive oil and a pinch of salt, and roast at 425°F until golden and crispy, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 6: Assemble Everything

Plate the Alfredo pasta, top with sliced chicken, a scoop of whipped feta, and a handful of crispy Brussels chips. Drizzle a little extra hot honey if you’re feeling bold.

How to Serve and Store Hot Honey Balsamic Chicken Alfredo

This creamy chicken Alfredo recipe serves about four people generously, making it ideal for a family dinner or a cozy double date night. Serve it straight from the pan while it’s still warm so the whipped feta stays velvety and the Brussels chips crisp. For a touch of extra flair, garnish with a sprinkle of chili flakes or fresh parsley.

To store, place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. When reheating, add a splash of cream or milk to bring back the silkiness of the Alfredo sauce and heat gently over medium-low heat. The Brussels chips are best enjoyed fresh, but you can re-crisp them in a toaster oven or air fryer for a quick revival.
