Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced
- 1 loaf French or Italian bread
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Prepare the Bread
- Slice bread in half lengthwise. Place both halves on the prepared baking sheet.
Make Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and parsley.
Spread Butter on Bread
- Spread the garlic butter evenly on the cut side of the bread halves.
Bake the Bread
- Bake bread in the oven for 5–7 minutes until slightly golden and fragrant.
Heat the Cream
- In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until warm.
Add Cheese to Sauce
- Gradually add Parmesan and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add Cooked Chicken
- Add shredded chicken to the sauce. Stir well and season with salt and pepper.
Top the Bread
- Spread chicken Alfredo mixture evenly on the baked garlic bread halves.
Add Remaining Cheese
- Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese over the top for a golden cheesy layer.
Bake Again
- Return bread to oven. Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese melts and lightly browns.
Garnish and Serve
- Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better crispiness.
- Do not overcook Alfredo sauce; it thickens quickly.
- Fresh garlic gives more flavor than garlic powder.
- You can add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
