Description
A comforting dish of homemade Alfredo pasta served between warm, crispy garlic bread topped with tender chicken and gooey mozzarella.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 1 Italian style loaf
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Transfer them to a bowl, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning or your salt, pepper, and garlic powder mix. In a pan over medium heat, cook the chicken until golden and cooked through.
- Slice your Italian loaf lengthwise in half. In a small bowl, combine 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
- Spread this buttery garlic mixture evenly on both halves of the bread. Toast the bread in a preheated 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes.
- Using the same pan you cooked the chicken in, heat it over medium-low heat. Add 1/2 stick of butter and let it melt. Stir in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to low and add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Simmer the sauce on low heat, stirring continuously until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Spread half of the prepared Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread. Top with the chopped chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese, then drizzle the remaining sauce on top.
- Return the bread to the oven and bake at 350°F for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is wonderfully melted and bubbly.
- Slice the bread into 2-3 inch pieces and serve warm. Enjoy!
