The Viral Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread

Ingredients

For the chicken and Alfredo sauce:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp Italian seasoning

For the garlic bread base:

1 loaf of Italian bread or French baguette
4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional)
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

For the chicken and Alfredo sauce:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Cook the chicken for about 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream, then add Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir it into the Alfredo sauce. Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to thicken, then set aside.

For the garlic bread base:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise to create two halves.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Spread the garlic butter evenly on both halves of the bread.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the garlic butter.

Assembling and Baking:

Place the garlic bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for about 8–10 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted and golden.
Once the garlic bread is baked, remove it from the oven and spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture on top of the bread halves.
Sprinkle extra mozzarella cheese on top of the Alfredo chicken for an extra cheesy finish.
Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
Slice and serve hot—garnish with extra parsley or grated Parmesan if desired.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves 4–6 and takes about 10 minutes of prep time plus 20–25 minutes of baking.

Variations

Add vegetables: Stir in some cooked spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli into the Alfredo sauce for added flavor and nutrition.
Spicy kick: Add red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the Alfredo sauce for some heat.
Use different cheeses: Swap mozzarella for provolone, cheddar, or gouda for a different cheese experience.
Make it vegetarian: Skip the chicken and load up the Alfredo sauce with vegetables like roasted tomatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to crisp up the bread and melt the cheese again.
