Ingredient Notes
See printable recipe card below for exact measurements and instructions.
- Chicken– Rotisserie chicken works great, but any cooked, shredded chicken will do.
- Alfredo Sauce– Use your favorite jarred or homemade Alfredo. Creamy sauces like Rao's or Bertolli give the best flavor.
- Cheese– Mozzarella for meltiness and Parmesan for that classic Alfredo touch. Feel free to use Pepper Jack cheese or Provolone cheese.
- Bread– Use a loaf of French bread for the base – it's sturdy, chewy, and perfect for layering. You can also use a frozen garlic bread loaf to save time and add extra garlicky flavor.
How to Make Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Slice your French bread (or use a frozen garlic bread loaf). Whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
Step 2. Place French bread, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Brush butter mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Bake 4-5 minutes until lightly golden.
Step 3. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm your Alfredo sauce. Stir in butter, Parmesan, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.
Step 4. Spread half the Alfredo sauce over the toasted bread.
Step 5. Top with chopped chicken over Alfredo.
Step 6. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan and Mozzarella evenly on top.
Step 7. Bake in the preheated oven 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Step 8. Remove and slice into desired size pieces. Serve warm!
