Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 8 oz high-quality feta cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Boil water in a large pot. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain.
  2. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.
  3. In a blender, combine feta cheese, heavy cream, garlic cloves, and red pepper flakes; blend until smooth.
  4. In the same skillet, add cooked pasta and whipped feta sauce; toss over low heat to combine. If thick, add reserved pasta water.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan on top while tossing the pasta one last time.
  6. Serve sliced chicken on top of the pasta and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
