Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 pound green beans trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, add the green beans and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to char. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes until tender.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions.
  6. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a bowl, combine the feta cheese and lemon juice. Use a fork to whip until creamy.
  8. Slice the chicken and serve over the fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce. Top with the lemon feta whip and serve alongside the charred green beans.
