Ingredients

For the Chicken

2 pieces Small Chicken Breasts Cut into ½-inch pieces; can substitute with rotisserie chicken.
2 tbsp Poultry Seasoning Enhances flavor; consider using a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2 tbsp Olive Oil Helps in browning the chicken; avocado oil can be used as an alternative.

For the Garlic Bread

1 loaf Italian-style Loaf Slice lengthwise for easy loading; day-old bread works great.
1.5 sticks Unsalted Butter Adds richness; can be replaced with olive oil.
2 tbsp Minced Garlic Key flavoring agent; garlic paste is a convenient substitute.
1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Adds subtle heat; omit for less spice.
2 tbsp Chopped Parsley Adds freshness; dried parsley can be used if fresh isn’t available.

For the Cheese Sauce

0.5 cup Heavy Cream Forms the base for the creamy sauce; can substitute with half-and-half.
0.25 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Provides creaminess; can try Pecorino Romano.
0.5 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Melts beautifully; fontina cheese is a different flavor option.

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Prepare Chicken: Toss the chicken with olive oil and poultry seasoning in a bowl. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add chicken, and sauté for 5–7 minutes until cooked through. Set aside.
Prep Garlic Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix melted butter, garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Slice the bread and spread the mixture over both halves. Toast in the oven for 5–10 minutes until golden.
Make Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, melt remaining butter, add garlic, and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Pour in heavy cream, simmer for 3–5 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese and parsley until creamy.
Assemble Bread: Spread half of the Alfredo sauce on each toasted bread half. Distribute chicken pieces and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle remaining sauce over the cheese.
Final Bake: Bake for 5 minutes at 350°F until cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool slightly before slicing to serve.
