Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 small chicken breasts, cut into ½ inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for chicken)
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Bread and Garlic Butter
- 1 loaf Italian style bread, sliced lengthwise in half
- 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
Topping
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (additional for cooking)
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare and Cook Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces and place them in a bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season with 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until they are golden and fully cooked.
- Make Garlic Butter Spread: Slice the Italian bread lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, mix 1 stick of melted butter with 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes until combined.
- Toast the Bread: Spread the prepared garlic butter evenly over both halves of the bread. Place the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F and toast for 5-10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes to ensure it reaches your preferred toasting level.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce Base: Using the same pan that cooked the chicken, heat it over medium-low heat. Add ½ stick of butter and allow it to melt. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Finish Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to low, then slowly add ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Stir continuously and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread halves. Top evenly with the cooked chicken pieces and sprinkle with 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle with the remaining Alfredo sauce.
- Bake with Toppings: Return the assembled bread to the oven at 350°F and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice the garlic bread into 2-3 inch pieces, and serve warm for a delicious crowd-pleasing appetizer or meal accompaniment.
Notes
- Use poultry seasoning or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to season chicken as preferred.
- Check the bread frequently during toasting to avoid burning.
- For extra richness, add more parmesan cheese or mozzarella based on taste.
- Serve the bread immediately while cheese is warm and melty for the best texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
