Ingredients
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon 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
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat until golden and cooked through.
- Slice and Butter the Bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, mix 1 stick melted butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Evenly spread this butter mixture on both bread halves.
- Toast the Bread: Place the bread halves in a preheated 350°F oven. Toast for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes until the bread reaches your desired crispness.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: Using the same pan, melt ½ stick butter over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Simmer gently, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce evenly over the toasted bread halves. Top with cooked chicken pieces and shredded mozzarella cheese. Spoon the remaining sauce over the top.
- Bake to Melt Cheese: Return the assembled bread to the oven at 350°F and bake for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, savory Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread!
Notes
- You can substitute poultry seasoning with a simple mix of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder as preferred.
- For a spicier kick, add extra crushed red pepper flakes to the butter mixture or the sauce.
- To make this dish ahead, prepare the chicken and sauce in advance, then assemble and bake right before serving.
- Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for a richer garlic flavor in both the butter and sauce.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in an oven for best texture retention.
