Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 French bread or Italian loaf

Filling

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or grilled)
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (homemade or pre-made)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste

Garlic Butter

  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Slice your loaf lengthwise without cutting all the way through, leaving a hinge so it opens like a book. Hollow out some of the inside to create space for the filling, while keeping enough bread to hold it together.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. Stir gently until the mixture is well combined but still chunky.
  3. Spread the Filling Inside: Open the hollowed bread and evenly spread the chicken Alfredo mixture on both sides. Be generous but avoid overfilling to prevent spilling during baking.
  4. Prepare the Garlic Butter: Mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Spread this mixture evenly on the outside crust of the bread to ensure a golden, fragrant crust when baked.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden, crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Bake longer if a crispier texture is desired.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes after baking. Slice into portions, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm to enjoy gooey, flavorful Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Garlic Bread.

Notes

  • Use fresh minced garlic in the butter for a brighter, more intense flavor than garlic powder.
  • Avoid overfilling the bread to keep it intact and ensure even baking.
  • Assemble the bread ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking to enhance flavor melding.
  • Use a serrated knife for even slicing after baking without squashing the filling.
  • Combine mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses for the perfect balance of creaminess and sharpness.
