Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Main Ingredients
- 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the monkey bread.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take each biscuit from the refrigerated dough and cut them into quarters, creating smaller pieces that are easy to toss and bake.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit pieces to the bowl with the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat each piece evenly with the sauce and seasonings.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the biscuit and chicken mixture, ensuring the cheese is well distributed.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Layer the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a crispy cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the monkey bread is golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let the monkey bread cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm, pulling apart pieces to enjoy the cheesy, creamy chicken filling.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor to the dish.
- Store-bought Alfredo sauce makes this recipe quick, but homemade Alfredo sauce will enhance the flavor significantly.
- Make sure to grease the bundt pan well to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
- Allow the bread to cool slightly before inverting to keep the shape intact and avoid burns.
- This Monkey Bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven to restore crispiness.
