Description
Indulge in the creamy delight of Garlic Chicken Alfredo, a savory dish featuring tender chicken and cheesy goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 small-sized chicken breasts
- 1 loaf of Italian bread
- 2 tbsp of seasoning mix (or a combo of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper)
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp of garlic paste (or finely chopped garlic)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped small
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes, crushed
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
Instructions
- Dice the chicken into chunks about half an inch big. Toss the pieces in a bowl with a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of seasoning mix (or some pepper, salt, and garlic powder). Heat up a pan, then cook the chicken until nice and brown on all sides over medium heat.
- Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Mix 1 melted stick of butter with 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tbsp of garlic, and a spoon of parsley in a small bowl. Spread this mix on the sliced bread evenly. Toast the bread in the oven at 175°C for about 5-10 minutes, checking halfway through to avoid overcooking.
- Grab the same pan you used for the chicken, place it back on low-medium heat, and let 1/2 a stick of butter melt. Stir in 1 tbsp of garlic and cook it for 2 minutes. Keep the pan on low, pour in 1/2 cup cream, toss in a spoonful of parsley, and add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens (3-5 minutes), then move it off the heat.
- Take the toasted bread and coat it with half of your creamy sauce. Pile the pieces of chicken on top, sprinkle the mozzarella, and drizzle the rest of the sauce over it all. Bake at 175°C for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling. Cut the bread into smaller chunks to serve while hot.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Ensure not to overcook the bread to maintain its texture.
