Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon truffle oil
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 leeks, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken pieces for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced leeks with 1 tablespoon olive oil and grated Parmesan. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10–15 minutes until golden and crispy.
4. In the same skillet used for chicken, reduce heat and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add heavy cream and stir.
5. Add crumbled feta to the cream and stir until melted and smooth. Drizzle in truffle oil and taste for seasoning.
6. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer gently in the sauce for 2–3 minutes.
7. Serve the chicken Alfredo topped with crispy Parmesan leeks and extra thyme if desired.
Notes
Make sure to pat the chicken dry before searing for the best golden crust.
Add truffle oil at the end—not while cooking—to preserve its delicate flavor.
Store crispy leeks separately from the sauce to keep them from softening.
