Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Garlic Bread
- 1 Italian-style loaf
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Alfredo Sauce
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Toppings
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken pieces in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and fully cooked through.
- Prepare Garlic Bread: Slice the Italian loaf in half lengthwise. Mix melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Toast the bread in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes until the bread is golden and fragrant.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: Using the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic. Reduce heat to low, then stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread halves. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken pieces on top, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese. Top with the remaining Alfredo sauce.
- Bake the Assembled Bread: Place the assembled garlic bread halves back into the oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles. Remove from oven, slice into 2–3 inch pieces, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use poultry seasoning or a personalized mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season the chicken for enhanced flavor.
- For extra heat, adjust or increase the crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- Ensure garlic does not burn during sauce preparation to keep the flavor smooth and pleasant.
- Serving the bread warm ensures melted cheese and a satisfying texture.
- This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
