How to Make Greek Hot Honey Chicken Alfredo Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Get the Chicken Ready

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, mix honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and mix well. Let it sit for 15 minutes while you prep other ingredients.

2. Start the Potatoes

Wash and cut baby potatoes in half. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, rosemary, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

3. Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package directions until just tender. Save 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.

4. Cook the Chicken

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken with all the sauce. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring often, until chicken is cooked through and glazed. The honey should make it golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

5. Cook the Potatoes and Mushrooms

In the same skillet, add butter. Add potatoes cut-side down and cook for 8-10 minutes until golden. Add sliced mushrooms and cook 3-4 minutes more until soft.

6. Make the Alfredo Sauce

Add fig preserves and balsamic vinegar to the pan. Stir for 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle bubble. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until smooth and creamy.

7. Bring It All Together

Add cooked pasta to the pan with cream sauce. Toss gently. Add chicken back to the pan. If sauce seems thick, add some pasta water. Toss everything together until well coated.

Serving and Decoration

Serve this dish in big bowls or on plates. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top. Add a few fresh oregano leaves if you have them. A side of garlic bread or simple green salad makes this meal complete.
