Description
Rich and creamy chicken Alfredo served inside buttery garlic bread bowls — the perfect cozy comfort meal with crispy edges and cheesy pasta goodness in every bite.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
2 tbsp butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
4 small round bread loaves (sourdough or ciabatta bowls)
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut the tops off the bread loaves and hollow out the centers to create bowls. Place on a baking sheet.
3. Brush insides and edges with melted butter mixed with garlic powder. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly crisp.
4. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute.
5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Stir in Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
7. Add cooked chicken and stir to coat evenly in the sauce.
8. Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture into each garlic bread bowl.
9. Sprinkle extra mozzarella or Parmesan on top if desired.
10. Bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the tops are golden and bubbly.
11. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
Add steamed broccoli or spinach for a veggie-packed version.
Bread bowls can be made ahead and reheated just before filling.
