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 ½ 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
¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

Let’s Make It Together

Start by cutting 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 your preferred mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside to let it rest.
While the chicken is cooking, slice your Italian loaf 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. Mix until smooth.
Spread this buttery mixture evenly on both halves of the bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast it in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes and monitoring until it reaches your desired level of toasting.
Using the same pan from the chicken, heat it over medium-low heat. Add ½ stick of butter and let it melt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Lower the heat to low and add ½ cup of heavy cream, ¼ 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 from heat.
Spread half of the prepared Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread. Top it with the cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella cheese, and the remaining sauce.
Return the bread to the oven and bake at 350°F for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
Slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm. Enjoy every delectable bite!

Variations & Creative Twists

Add Veggies: Toss in some sautéed mushrooms or spinach for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
Spicy Kick: If you love heat, consider adding jalapeños or a drizzle of sriracha on top for a zesty twist.
Herb Infusion: Experiment with different herbs such as basil or oregano in the Alfredo sauce to elevate the flavors even more.
Mixed Cheeses: Swap mozzarella for a rich provolone or fontina cheese for a creamy, indulgent touch.
