Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

3 tablespoons hot honey

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup feta cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved and leaves separated

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss Brussels sprouts leaves with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes until crisp.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine feta cheese, cream cheese, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy. Chill until ready to use.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a low simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and whisk until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

5. In the same skillet, add balsamic vinegar, hot honey, and garlic. Simmer until reduced and sticky. Return chicken to the skillet and coat in glaze.

6. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and toss with Alfredo sauce.

7. Plate whipped feta, followed by pasta, glazed chicken, and crispy Brussels. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Use room temperature feta and cream cheese for smooth blending.

Sear chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure a proper crust.

If the Alfredo sauce thickens too much when reheating, add a splash of cream to loosen it.
