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.
