How To Make the Spinach-Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo & Crispy Parmesan Broccoli

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season the chicken breasts with Greek seasoning. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and slice.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Boil the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then stir in cream cheese, heavy cream, and a generous handful of Parmesan. Whisk until smooth. Add the spinach and chopped artichoke hearts, letting them wilt and warm through. If needed, use reserved pasta water to thin the sauce.

Step 4: Combine

Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the Alfredo sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Simmer for a few minutes to bring everything together.

Step 5: Roast the Broccoli

Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast at 425°F for about 20 minutes until crisp-tender. In the last 5 minutes, sprinkle with Panko and Parmesan to get that irresistible crunch.

Step 6: Mushroom Basil Cream

In a small saucepan, melt butter and sauté sliced mushrooms until browned. Stir in a splash of cream and freshly chopped basil. Spoon over the roasted broccoli when serving.

How to Serve and Store This Spinach-Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo

This dish serves about four hungry people or can be stretched to six with a side salad and some bread. Serve it fresh and hot, with the pasta coated in the creamy Alfredo and a generous heap of crispy broccoli on the side, finished with the mushroom basil drizzle.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. When reheating, add a splash of milk or cream to bring back the saucy richness. The broccoli may lose its crunch but will still be flavorful. You can also reheat it in the oven to restore some crispness.
