Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
3. Step 3: Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
4. Step 4: Gently toss the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, making sure they are well coated.
5. Step 5: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
6. Step 6: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Layer the chicken and biscuit mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
7. Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
8. Step 8: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Chicken Mixture

• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Dough and Cheese

• 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the monkey bread.
2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and spices.
3. Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to make small pieces that will layer well and absorb the sauce.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit dough pieces into the bowl with the chicken mixture. Gently toss everything together to combine without breaking the biscuit pieces too much.
5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture, distributing the cheese evenly to create a gooey cheesy texture throughout.
6. Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan generously with butter or non-stick spray. Layer the chicken and biscuit mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top for a golden crust.
7. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Bake until the bread is puffed and golden brown on top, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.

Notes

• For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms to the mixture.
• Use a store-bought Alfredo sauce for convenience, or make your own for a richer taste.
• If you don’t have a bundt pan, a deep round cake pan or springform pan can work as alternatives.
• Let the monkey bread cool slightly before inverting to prevent sticking or breaking.
• This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
