Ingredients
500g boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon chili flakes
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
400g Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil (for potatoes)
8–10 asparagus spears, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil (for asparagus)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
100g smoked feta cheese, crumbled
Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Season chicken with olive oil, smoked paprika, chili flakes, garlic powder, oregano, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
4. Toss potatoes with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
5. Toss asparagus with olive oil and Parmesan. Add to the baking sheet with potatoes and roast for another 12–15 minutes.
6. In the same skillet used for chicken, add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in smoked feta until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Season with black pepper.
7. Return chicken to skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes to let flavors meld.
8. Plate the creamy chicken, roasted potatoes, and crispy asparagus. Garnish with chopped parsley and more black pepper.
Notes
Make sure to reduce the cream sauce gently—boiling can cause it to split.
Don’t overcrowd your roasting pan; use two pans if needed for crispier potatoes and asparagus.
If smoked feta isn’t available, mix regular feta with ⅛ tsp smoked paprika for a similar flavor hit.
