Ingredients
1.5 pounds chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup hot honey
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
10 ounces feta cheese, room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup heavy cream, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil (for roasting sprouts)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place cut-side down on a sheet pan and roast for 20–25 minutes until crispy.
2. Season the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through.
3. Lower the heat and add hot honey and balsamic vinegar to the chicken. Stir until the glaze thickens and coats the chicken, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Blend until smooth.
5. Transfer whipped feta mixture to a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and Parmesan. Warm until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Spread a generous layer of whipped feta Alfredo on plates or bowls.
7. Top with glazed chicken, scatter roasted Brussels chips over the top, and garnish with parsley.
8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
Make sure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature to ensure smooth blending and melting.
If your glaze thickens too much, loosen with a splash of water or balsamic before serving.
Don’t skip blending the feta—this step transforms the sauce into a whipped, luxurious texture.
