Instructions
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
-
In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Set aside.
Cook the Chicken:
-
Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken until it develops a nice crust and reaches an internal temperature of 145–150°F (it will finish cooking in the oven).
-
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then chop into strips or small pieces. Set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
-
In the same pan, drizzle olive oil and melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
-
Pour in the heavy cream and add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and chicken bouillon powder. Stir to combine.
-
Gradually whisk in the parmesan cheese and simmer the sauce until thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside.
Prepare the Bread Base:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
-
Spread half of the garlic butter mixture onto each half of the French bread loaf. Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
Assemble the Garlic Bread:
-
Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Drizzle a generous amount of Alfredo sauce over each half.
-
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped chicken, and another drizzle of Alfredo sauce
Bake the Garlic Bread:
-
Return the bread to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
-
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for garnish. Slice the bread into portions and serve with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
