Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Bread

  • 1 Italian-style loaf, sliced lengthwise
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

For the Alfredo Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Bread: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with minced garlic, parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the Italian loaf. Toast the bread under a broiler or in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a small saucepan, gently simmer the heavy cream with the minced garlic over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until the cream thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add salt to taste.
  4. Assemble the Garlic Bread: Spread the Alfredo sauce generously over the toasted bread halves. Distribute the cooked chicken pieces evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Bake to Finish: Place the assembled bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a quicker version.
  • Adjust the crushed red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan provides the best flavor for the sauce.
  • Use thick slices of bread to hold the toppings better.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.
