Introduction

This Viral Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread combines tender, seasoned chicken with creamy Alfredo sauce and melted cheese on crispy garlic bread. It’s a perfect crowd-pleaser for family dinners or casual gatherings, offering rich flavors in an easy-to-make dish.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat until golden.
2. Step 2: Slice the bread lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, mix 1 stick melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
3. Step 3: Spread the butter mixture evenly on both bread halves. Toast in a preheated 350°F oven for 5–10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes until lightly toasted.
4. Step 4: Using the same pan, melt ½ stick butter over medium-low heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
5. Step 5: Lower heat to low. Add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
6. Step 6: Spread half the sauce on the toasted bread. Top with cooked chicken, shredded mozzarella, and the remaining sauce.
7. Step 7: Bake at 350°F for 5 more minutes, until cheese melts fully. Slice into 2–3 inch pieces and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
• Add mushrooms or spinach to the Alfredo sauce for extra veggies.
• Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
• Swap mozzarella for provolone or fontina for different cheese flavor.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispness. Avoid microwaving to keep the bread from getting soggy.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the chicken and Alfredo sauce in advance and store them separately. Assemble and bake the garlic bread just before serving for the best texture.

What can I use if I don’t have poultry seasoning?

A simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder works well as a substitute and still adds plenty of flavor to the chicken.

Instructions

1. Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook the chicken in a pan over medium heat until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
2. Slice and prepare bread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this butter mixture evenly on both bread halves.
3. Toast bread: Place the buttered bread halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes and continue until the bread is toasted to your preference.
4. Make the Alfredo sauce: Using the same pan, heat over medium-low heat and melt 1/2 stick of butter. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Lower heat to low, then add heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
5. Assemble the bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce evenly over the toasted bread halves. Top with cooked chicken pieces, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, then spread the remaining sauce over the top.
6. Bake to melt cheese: Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for another 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve: Slice the garlic bread into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm. Enjoy this indulgent, flavorful appetizer or snack!

Notes

• For extra heat, increase crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
• You can substitute Italian bread with a French baguette or ciabatta for variation.
• Use fresh minced garlic for the most aromatic flavors, or garlic paste as a shortcut.
• If preferred, swap heavy cream for half-and-half for a lighter sauce, though it will be less creamy.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
