Description
This chicken Alfredo garlic bread recipe is my go-to when I’m looking for a quick and indulgent appetizer or dinner idea! It combines the comforting flavors of creamy chicken alfredo with the satisfying crunch of garlic bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 Italian style loaf
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Transfer them to a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In a pan over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden.
- Step 2: Slice your bread lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, combine 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Step 3: Spread this butter mixture evenly on both halves of the bread. Toast the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes and monitoring until it reaches your desired level of toasting.
- Step 4: Using the same pan used to cook the chicken, heat it over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 stick of butter and let it melt, then stir in 1 tablespoons of minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Step 5: Lower the heat to low and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, Simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens slightly (about 3-5 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat.
- Step 6: Spread half of the prepared sauce over the toasted bread. Top with the chopped chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the remaining sauce.
- Step 7: Return the bread to the oven and bake at 350°F for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. Slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm.
Notes
Use day-old bread for better texture. To ensure the chicken is flavorful, let it marinate in olive oil and seasoning for at least 10 minutes before cooking.
