Method
Preparation
- Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and stir to coat.
Cooking the Chicken
- In a pan over medium heat, cook the seasoned chicken until golden and fully cooked through.
Preparing the Bread
- Slice the Italian loaf lengthwise into two halves. In a bowl, combine 1 stick of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.
Toasting the Bread
- Spread the garlic butter mixture on both halves of the bread and toast in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-10 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Making the Alfredo Sauce
- In the same pan, melt ½ stick of butter over medium-low heat, add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, and cook for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in ½ cup of heavy cream and ¼ cup of shredded parmesan cheese, add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Layering the Dish
- Spread half of the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread, then top with the cooked chicken and ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce on top.
Final Bake
- Return the bread to the oven and bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Serving
- Slice into 2-3 inch pieces and enjoy warm, ideally served on a large platter with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
Notes
Enjoy this dish fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still gooey. Store leftovers wrapped tightly in aluminum foil or in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven to keep the bread crispy and the cheese melty.
