Description
Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread is a hearty and indulgent dish combining crispy garlic bread topped with creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and melted mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick-cut Italian or French bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
- Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly over each slice of bread.
- Place the buttered bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8–10 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
- While the bread toasts, heat the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Once warm, stir in the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the bread from the oven and spoon the Alfredo chicken mixture onto each slice.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken Alfredo mixture.
- Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with extra parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- If using store-bought garlic bread, skip the buttering and seasoning step, then just add the chicken Alfredo mixture on top.
- For extra cheesiness, double the mozzarella or add a sprinkle of Parmesan before baking.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the Alfredo sauce.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with sautéed veggies like mushrooms or spinach.
