Ingredients

  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • 1 Italian-style loaf
  • 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with poultry seasoning or salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until golden and fully cooked.
  2. Step 2: Slice the Italian loaf in half lengthwise. Melt butter and mix it with garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over both loaf halves. Toast at 350°F for 5–10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes until the bread is golden.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Reduce the heat to low, then stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens, then remove from heat.
  4. Step 4: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce on the toasted bread halves. Top with the cooked chicken and sprinkle mozzarella cheese over it. Cover with the remaining Alfredo sauce.
  5. Step 5: Bake at 350°F for 5 minutes or until the cheese melts and bubbles. Slice into 2–3-inch pieces and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the Alfredo sauce before spreading on the bread.
  • Use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time in preparing the chicken.
  • If you prefer a less spicy dish, omit the red pepper flakes or reduce the amount.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances the sauce flavor compared to pre-shredded varieties.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to maintain crispiness and melt the cheese again. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy bread.

How to Serve

Two pieces of thick, toasted bread lie on a white plate, each topped with layers of shredded white chicken mixed with melted, golden-brown cheese that has a slightly crispy texture on top. The cheese stretches slightly off the edges, covered with small bits of green herbs sprinkled evenly across the surface. The bread’s crust is golden and slightly crunchy, while the inside looks soft and airy. A small bunch of fresh green parsley sits on the upper right side of the plate, adding a fresh contrast to the warm tones of the dish. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with a blue-gray cloth loosely beneath it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread?

Yes, a sturdy bread like French baguette or sourdough works well. Avoid very soft or thick breads as they might become soggy with the sauce.

Is it possible to make this recipe vegetarian?

To make it vegetarian, omit the chicken and add sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach instead. The creamy Alfredo sauce pairs well with these additions.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

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

Bread & Topping

  • 1 Italian-style loaf
  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Cheese & Sauce

  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Cut chicken breasts into ½-inch pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and season with poultry seasoning or salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise into two halves. Mix melted butter (use about half of the butter) with garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Toast the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–10 minutes until golden, checking after 5 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the remaining butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and some additional chopped parsley. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread halves. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken pieces over the sauce, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the cheese and chicken.
  5. Bake to Finish: Place the assembled bread back into the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and is bubbling. Remove from oven, slice into 2–3 inch pieces, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute poultry seasoning with a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired.
  • For a spicier kick, add extra crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter mixture.
  • Use fresh minced garlic instead of garlic paste for a stronger garlic flavor.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked thoroughly before assembling to avoid undercooked poultry.
  • Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for optimal melting and flavor.
