Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Alfredo:
- 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 Bread Bowls:
- 4 large bread rolls, hollowed out
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the garlic bread bowls to golden perfection.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the cooked chicken, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and salt. Stir continually until the mixture is heated through and the cheese has melted into a creamy sauce.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a separate bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic powder, and chopped parsley until well combined to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
- Prepare Bread Bowls: Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly inside the hollowed-out bread bowls, ensuring all inner surfaces are coated for maximum flavor.
- Bake Bread Bowls: Place the garlic buttered bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble & Serve: Remove the bread bowls from the oven and carefully fill each one with the warm chicken Alfredo mixture. Serve immediately for a comforting and delicious meal.
Notes
- Feel free to add vegetables such as broccoli or spinach to the chicken Alfredo mixture for added flavor, texture, and nutrition.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for the best melt and flavor.
- The bread rolls should be sturdy enough to hold the filling without getting soggy quickly, such as sourdough or Italian rolls.
- If preferred, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter Alfredo sauce.
