Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Garlic Bread
- 1 Italian-style loaf
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Alfredo Sauce and Toppings
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (for sauce)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for sauce)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces. Drizzle with olive oil, season well with poultry seasoning or salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Prepare and Toast the Garlic Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the Italian loaf in half lengthwise. Melt 1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter and mix with 2 tablespoons minced garlic, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5–10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes, until the bread is golden and crisp.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add 2 tablespoons garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Reduce heat to low and stir in ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Garlic Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread halves. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken pieces on top, then sprinkle with ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining Alfredo sauce.
- Bake and Serve: Return the assembled bread to the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from oven, slice into 2–3 inch pieces, and serve warm for a delicious, cheesy chicken Alfredo garlic bread delight.
Notes
- If poultry seasoning is unavailable, substitute with a blend of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- For extra crispiness, broil the garlic bread for 1-2 minutes after toasting, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Heavy cream can be substituted with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but the sauce will be less rich.
- Feel free to add chopped spinach or mushrooms to the Alfredo sauce for additional texture and flavor.
- Leftover chicken Alfredo garlic bread can be reheated in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
