Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder mix)
Bread and Butter Mixture
- 1 Italian style loaf
- 1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Sauce
- 1/2 stick unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Toppings
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Additional
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)
Instructions
- Prepare and cook chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. In a bowl, drizzle them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat a pan over medium heat and cook chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Prepare butter mixture: Slice the loaf lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, combine 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
- Toast the bread: Spread the butter mixture evenly on both halves of the bread. Place the halves on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes and toast further if desired, until the bread is golden and slightly crisp.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: Using the same pan that cooked the chicken, reduce heat to medium-low and add ½ stick of butter. Let it melt, then stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic, cooking 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Lower heat to low, then add ½ cup heavy cream, ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer gently, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the garlic bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread halves. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken pieces on top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce over the top.
- Bake to melt cheese: Return the bread to the oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the mozzarella is fully melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice bread into 2-3 inch pieces, and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy, garlicky viral chicken Alfredo garlic bread!
Notes
- Use poultry seasoning or a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning the chicken.
- Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the heat level.
- Heavy cream and parmesan cheese are key for an authentic Alfredo sauce flavor and creaminess.
- Ensure the bread is toasted before adding the sauce to keep it from becoming soggy.
- Leftover garlic bread can be reheated in the oven to retain crispness.
