Ingredients
Scale
- For the Chicken:
- 1 pound Chicken Breasts, cut into ½-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Poultry Seasoning
- For the Garlic Bread Base:
- 1 loaf Italian-style Loaf
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter
- 4 cloves Minced Garlic
- ¼ cup Chopped Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces with olive oil and poultry seasoning until well coated. Sauté in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, cooking until golden brown and juicy.
- Prep the Bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread evenly over the bread halves, then toast in the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and fragrant.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and stir in minced garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until aromatic, then add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Assemble the Bread: After toasting, spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the garlic bread. Layer the cooked chicken and top with mozzarella cheese. Pour the remaining sauce over everything for an indulgent finish.
- Finish and Bake: Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice into portions and serve warm for maximum enjoyment.
