Ingredients You’ll Need for The Viral Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread I’m Obsessed With

2 small chicken breasts
1 Italian style loaf
2 tablespoons of poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
1 1/2 sticks of unsalted butter
2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s Make It Together!

Start by cutting the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a pan over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken until it’s golden and fully cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Slice your Italian loaf lengthwise in half to create two beautiful pieces of bread.
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. Mix well.
Spread the butter mixture evenly over both halves of the bread. Toast the bread flat side up in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, keeping a close eye to reach your desired golden crispness.
In the same pan where you cooked the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low and melt 1/2 stick of butter. Stir in another tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Lower the heat to low and add the heavy cream and 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese. Stir consistently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread half of the prepared Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread. Layer on the cooked chicken, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese and the remaining sauce.
Back to the oven it goes! Bake at 350°F for another 5 minutes, until the cheeses ooze and meld beautifully.
Slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces, serve warm, and enjoy the delightful flavors with loved ones.

Delicious Variations to Try

Zesty Spinach: Add a handful of fresh spinach to the chicken for a vibrant, nutritious twist.
Mushroom Magic: Sauté some fresh mushrooms before adding them to the chicken for an earthy, rich flavor.
Pepperoni Delight: Layer some turkey pepperoni on top of the cheese for a fun twist reminiscent of your favorite pizza.
Extra Garlic: Increase the garlic—both in the sauce and as a topping—if you’re a garlic lover!
