Ingredients
- 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
- 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
Instructions
- For the chicken and Alfredo sauce: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter, then add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheese, stirring until the sauce is creamy. Slice chicken into bite-sized pieces and stir into the sauce. Add garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to thicken.
- For the garlic bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the bread in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Spread evenly on both halves of the bread and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Place bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove from the oven and spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture onto the bread. Top with extra mozzarella cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve hot with a garnish of parsley or grated Parmesan.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli to the Alfredo sauce.
- Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the Alfredo sauce for a spicy kick.
- Experiment with different cheeses such as provolone, cheddar, or gouda.
- For a vegetarian version, skip the chicken and load up on vegetables like roasted tomatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers.
