Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder mix)
Bread & Butter Mixture
- 1 Italian style loaf
- 1 stick unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Alfredo 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
- Remaining 1/2 stick unsalted butter (for initial cooking step, total 1 1/2 sticks used)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking chicken)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, and garlic powder). Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Make the garlic butter spread: Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise into two halves. 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. Mix well.
- Toast the bread: Spread the garlic butter evenly over both halves of the sliced bread. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes, checking after 5 minutes and continuing until it reaches your desired crispness and golden color.
- Prepare the Alfredo sauce: Using the same pan used for the chicken, heat over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 stick of butter and let it melt. Stir in 1 tablespoon minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat to low and gradually stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Simmer gently, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce evenly over the toasted bread halves. Layer the cooked chicken pieces on top, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly. Drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce over the cheese and chicken.
- Bake the assembled bread: Return the bread to the oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese melts fully and starts to bubble.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces, and serve warm for a rich and satisfying treat.
Notes
- You can substitute poultry seasoning with a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder if preferred.
- Keep an eye on the bread while toasting to avoid burning; times may vary based on your oven.
- For a spicier kick, increase crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh and warm out of the oven.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to restore crispness and melty cheese.
