On top of this sauce layer, there are small, tender pieces of cooked chicken that are light brown and slightly crispy.

Ingredients

2 small chicken breasts
1 Italian style loaf
2 tablespoons of poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat until golden.
Step 2: Slice the bread lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, combine 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Spread the mixture evenly on both halves of the bread.
Step 3: Toast the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes until it reaches your desired toasting.
Step 4: Using the same pan, melt ½ stick of butter over medium-low heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Step 5: Lower the heat to low. Add ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes). Remove from heat.
Step 6: Spread half of the sauce over the toasted bread. Top with the cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the remaining sauce.
Step 7: Bake the assembled bread at 350°F for 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted. Slice into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the poultry seasoning and olive oil for 30 minutes before cooking.
Use garlic paste instead of minced garlic for a smoother sauce.
Add cooked mushrooms or spinach to the Alfredo sauce for added veggies.
Swap mozzarella for a blend of mozzarella and cheddar for a sharper cheesy taste.
Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the spice level.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the bread soggy.

How to Serve

Two long slices of toasted bread lay on a black baking tray lined with white parchment paper, placed on a white marbled surface. Each slice is thickly topped with a creamy mixture of small cauliflower pieces and melted cheese that is slightly browned on top. The bread has a golden-brown crust and the melted cheese is bubbly with some browned spots, covering the cauliflower evenly. There are faint green herb specks mixed in the creamy topping, adding a touch of color and texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

2 small chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder mix)

Bread and Butter Mixture

1 Italian style loaf
1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic paste)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Alfredo Sauce

½ stick unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Prepare and cook the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season evenly with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or a mixture of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Slice and prepare the bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise in half to create two long halves. In a small bowl, mix 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
Toast the bread: Spread the prepared butter mixture evenly onto both halves of the bread. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes and continue toasting until the bread reaches your preferred level of crispiness and golden color.
Make the Alfredo sauce: Using the same pan used to cook the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low and add ½ stick of butter. Let it melt, then stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Lower the heat to low and carefully add ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the garlic bread: Spread half of the prepared Alfredo sauce evenly over the toasted bread halves. Layer the cooked chicken pieces evenly on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken, then spread the remaining Alfredo sauce on top.
Bake the assembled bread: Place the assembled bread back into the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove from oven and slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces. Serve warm and enjoy this creamy, cheesy, garlicky chicken Alfredo garlic bread treat.

Notes

Use fresh garlic or garlic paste depending on availability and preference for more intense garlic flavor.
Adjust red pepper flakes to taste for more or less heat.
For a crispier bread, toast longer but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Chicken can be substituted with rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation.
Use full-fat dairy products for a richer and creamier sauce.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
