Garlic Bread Chicken Alfredo Bowls (Recipe for Printing)

Crispy garlic bread bowls filled with creamy chicken Alfredo, perfect for cozy dinners or game day gatherings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Bread Bowls

01 - 4 small round bakery bread rolls (about 10-12 cm across, sourdough or Italian rolls)
02 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
05 - Pinch of kosher salt

→ Filling

06 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
07 - 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
08 - 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
09 - 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
10 - 1 cup broccoli florets, steamed and chopped small (optional)
11 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 - Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - Additional Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
14 - Fresh parsley for garnish

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Using a serrated knife, slice off the top 1.25 cm of each bread roll. Carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about 1.25 cm of bread around the sides and bottom to form a sturdy bowl.
03 - In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly.
04 - Brush the inside and outside edges of each bread bowl with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
05 - In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, broccoli (if using), black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
06 - Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into each prepared bread bowl. If desired, top with additional mozzarella or Parmesan cheese.
07 - Place the filled bread bowls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the bread edges turn golden brown. If tops brown too quickly, tent with foil.
08 - Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese before serving.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - For extra-crispy bowls, pre-toast the hollowed bread bowls for 5 minutes before filling.
02 - Use sturdy bread like sourdough or Italian rolls to prevent sogginess.
03 - The filling can be prepared ahead of time for quick assembly.
04 - Rotisserie chicken works exceptionally well for this recipe.
