Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon crushed chili flakes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup smoked feta cheese, crumbled
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (plus extra for asparagus)
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
2 cups baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon butter (optional for sauce)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes.
2. In a bowl, toss the chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
5. Toss halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Roast potatoes for 10 minutes.
7. Toss asparagus with olive oil and grated parmesan. Add to the baking sheet.
8. Continue roasting for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and asparagus is crisp.
9. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
10. Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in smoked feta and ¼ cup parmesan until smooth.
11. Plate roasted potatoes, top with chili chicken, drizzle smoked feta sauce, and arrange asparagus on the side.
12. Garnish with parsley and lemon zest. Serve warm.
Notes
For an extra smoky depth, grill the chicken instead of pan-searing.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the sauce for a bright contrast to the rich creaminess.
To save time, prep the spice mix and chopped ingredients ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook.
