Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 small chicken breasts Provides protein; you can use cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning Adds depth of flavor; a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder makes a great substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil Used for cooking chicken; any neutral oil can work well.
For the Garlic Bread
  • 1 loaf Italian-style Forms the base for your dish; opt for day-old bread for better texture.
  • 1.5 sticks unsalted butter Ensures richness; margarine is a substitute but may lack flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic Elevates the taste; you can replace it with garlic paste or powder if needed.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Adds a fresh touch; fresh basil can be used for a unique twist.
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Delivers a mild kick; feel free to adjust or omit for less heat.
For the Alfredo Sauce
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream Gives the sauce its creamy consistency; half-and-half or milk thickened with flour can work as a substitute.
  • 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese Imparts a savory flavor; you can use any hard cheese as an alternative.
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides a delightful melt; consider using provolone or fontina as substitutes.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting your two small chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil and poultry seasoning, ensuring they are well-coated. Heat a skillet over medium heat, then add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through. Stir occasionally to achieve even cooking and prevent sticking.
  2. While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, mix together melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cut the Italian-style loaf in half and spread the flavorful garlic mixture evenly over the cut sides. Place the prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes until the edges are golden and crisp.
  3. Using the same skillet where you cooked the chicken, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Add more minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly for about 3-5 minutes. Stir often to prevent sticking.
  4. Once your bread is toasted and your Alfredo sauce is ready, it's time to assemble The Viral Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread. Spread half of the creamy Alfredo sauce generously over the toasted bread halves. Next, layer the cooked chicken pieces on top, followed by a hearty sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce over the cheese for an extra creamy finish.
  5. Return the assembled garlic bread to your preheated oven, baking at 350°F for an additional 5 minutes. Watch closely as the mozzarella melts into gooey perfection. Once done, take it out of the oven, slice into portions, and serve warm, allowing everyone to enjoy this delicious comfort food treat.

Notes

Use day-old Italian-style loaf to prevent sogginess and ensure it holds the delicious toppings well. For extra crunch, place the bread under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after assembly.
