Why You’ll Love This Greek Chicken Alfredo

This recipe hits all the right notes for a comfort meal with a refreshing twist. It combines creamy Alfredo with the brightness of Greek chicken for a layered flavor experience.

What Kind of Pasta Should I Use for Greek Chicken Alfredo?

Fettuccine is the classic choice because it holds up well to the creamy Alfredo sauce, but feel free to use linguine or even penne if that’s what you have. The key is to pick a pasta that grabs onto the sauce, letting all the garlicky, cheesy richness coat each bite beautifully.

Ingredients for the Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe

This dish is all about combining Mediterranean flair with creamy indulgence. Each ingredient plays a key role in making this Greek Chicken Alfredo not only flavorful but also satisfying and hearty. Here’s what you need:

• Chicken breasts
• Greek yogurt
• Olive oil
• Lemon juice
• Garlic cloves
• Dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper
• Fettuccine pasta
• Heavy cream
• Parmesan cheese
• Butter
• Broccoli florets
• Panko breadcrumbs

The chicken breasts form the hearty protein base. We marinate them in Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano to infuse a tangy, herb-forward Greek flavor. A touch of salt and black pepper balances the brightness.

For the pasta, fettuccine is perfect for soaking up the creamy Alfredo sauce made with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter, creating a silky finish.

The side of broccoli florets gets roasted with panko breadcrumbs and more Parmesan, turning into a crispy, cheesy veggie highlight that adds texture and extra flavor.

How To Make the Greek Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Step 1: Marinate the Chicken

Combine Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Coat chicken breasts in this mixture and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook fettuccine until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 3: Sear the Chicken

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the marinated chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes per side. Slice into strips.

Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same skillet, melt butter, add cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and some reserved pasta water for extra creaminess. Add cooked pasta and toss until coated.

Step 5: Roast the Broccoli

Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, Parmesan, and panko. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 425°F for 20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 6: Assemble the Dish

Plate the creamy fettuccine, top with sliced Greek chicken, and serve with crispy parmesan broccoli on the side.

Serving and Storing Your Greek Chicken Alfredo

This dish is generously portioned to feed 4 to 6 people, making it perfect for family dinners or small gatherings. Serve it hot right after assembling so the creamy Alfredo stays silky and the broccoli keeps its crisp. If you’re preparing ahead, keep the components separate and combine just before serving for the best texture.

To store leftovers, refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce. The broccoli may lose its crispness but still brings great flavor when reheated.
