Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder mix)

Bread and Garlic Butter

  • 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

Additional Seasoning

  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Cook Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Transfer them to a bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a pan on medium and cook the chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Slice and Butter the Bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise into two halves. 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. Spread this garlic butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of both bread halves.
  3. Toast the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the buttered bread halves on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes to reach a golden and slightly crispy texture.
  4. Make the Alfredo Sauce: Using the same pan from the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low and add ½ stick of butter. Once melted, stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat to low and add ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  5. Assemble the Garlic Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over both toasted bread halves. Distribute the cooked chicken evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce over the cheese and chicken.
  6. Bake to Melt Cheese: Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven, slice the garlic bread into 2-3 inch pieces, and serve warm. Enjoy this indulgent, cheesy chicken Alfredo garlic bread as a perfect snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use fresh Italian bread for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  • This recipe can be made ahead by preparing the Alfredo sauce and chicken and assembling right before baking.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, though the sauce will be less rich.
  • Leftover garlic bread can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispiness.
