Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf French bread (16–18 inches), halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 1/2 cups (350ml) Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Bread Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly across both halves of the French bread, making sure to reach the edges. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Place the bread halves cut-side up on a large baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant.
- Step 2: Cook the Chicken While the bread is baking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Remove from heat and set aside.
- Step 3: Assemble Your Pizza Remove the partially baked garlic bread from the oven. Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over each half, leaving a small border around the edges. Distribute the cooked chicken pieces evenly across both halves, then sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese and the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Step 4: Bake to Perfection Return your **Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Pizza** to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown in spots. For an extra golden top, switch to the broiler for the final 1-2 minutes, but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Step 5: Finish and Serve Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before sprinkling with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired. Cut each half into 3-4 inch slices using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve immediately while hot and gooey for the ultimate comfort food experience.
