Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic Butter
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (12 tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Cheeses and Cream
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
Bread
- 1 Italian style loaf
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the 2 small chicken breasts evenly on both sides with the poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from heat and slice chicken thinly.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt 1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Cook gently until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the Italian loaf horizontally. Brush both cut sides generously with the prepared garlic butter mixture.
- Assemble the Alfredo Chicken Bread: On the bottom half of the loaf, layer the sliced cooked chicken evenly. Pour ½ cup heavy cream over the chicken, then sprinkle ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake the Bread: Place the assembled loaf on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the bread is crisp.
- Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve warm for an irresistible cheesy chicken Alfredo garlic bread experience.
Notes
- You can substitute poultry seasoning for a homemade blend of salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano, and thyme if desired.
- If you prefer spicier bread, increase crushed red pepper flakes or add a drizzle of hot sauce.
- For an extra creamy texture, drizzle additional heavy cream over the cheese layer before baking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven to preserve crispiness.
