Ingredients
Chicken Alfredo Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp salt
Garlic Butter Bread Bowls
- 4 large bread rolls (hollowed out)
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread bowls.
- Prepare the Alfredo Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the cooked chicken, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and salt. Stir continuously until the mixture is heated through and the cheese is fully melted, creating a creamy Alfredo sauce.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic powder and chopped parsley until well combined.
- Prepare the Bread Bowls: Spread the garlic butter mixture generously onto the inside of each hollowed-out bread roll, ensuring full coverage for maximum flavor.
- Bake the Bread Bowls: Place the buttered bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake them in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble and Serve: Remove the baked bread bowls from the oven and fill each with the hot chicken Alfredo mixture. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use sturdy bread rolls like sourdough or Italian round to avoid sogginess.
- Shredded rotisserie chicken works well and saves time.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional parmesan cheese on top before serving.
- You can substitute cream with half-and-half for a lighter version, but the sauce may be less rich.
- Customize with mushrooms or steamed broccoli for added vegetables.
