Description
Indulge in Creamy Chicken Alfredo Goodness in Garlic Bread Bowls. This delectable dish combines the rich, creamy goodness of Alfredo sauce with tender chicken and the irresistible crunch of a garlic bread bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 pieces chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1 pound pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
- 6 pieces Kaiser rolls or more if needed
- 15 ounce Alfredo sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 teaspoon garlic and herb seasoning
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions, drain, and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Add Alfredo Sauce: Pour the Alfredo sauce over the cooked chicken and stir well. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
4. Prepare the Bread Bowls: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut off the tops of the Kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers to create space for the filling.
5. Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter with the garlic and herb seasoning. Brush the inside and edges of each bread bowl generously with the garlic butter mixture.
6. Assemble and Bake: Fill each prepared bread bowl with the creamy chicken Alfredo pasta mixture. Sprinkle the shredded parmesan cheese over the top. Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve warm for a truly indulgent and impressive meal.
Notes
To ensure your chicken stays juicy and flavorful, be sure to season it well with salt and pepper before cooking. You can also experiment with different seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian herbs, to enhance the overall taste.
For the best texture, cook the pasta al dente, which means it should be firm to the bite. This will prevent the pasta from becoming mushy once it’s mixed with the Alfredo sauce.
