Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Bread & Butter Mixture
- 1 Italian style loaf
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Sauce
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Topping
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Other
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra for cooking chicken)
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
