Description
Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls are a creamy, cheesy stuffed bread bowl dinner that’s perfect for cozy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 small round bread rolls (or mini sourdough bowls)
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken
- 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep bread bowls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the tops off the rolls and hollow out the centers, leaving sturdy bread bowls.
- Make garlic butter: Mix melted butter, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brush generously over the inside and outside of each bowl.
- Toast bowls: Place bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly crisp.
- Cook pasta: Boil pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.
- Make Alfredo filling: Stir in Alfredo sauce, chicken, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until creamy and melted.
- Assemble: Spoon the hot chicken Alfredo pasta into each toasted bread bowl.
- Final bake: Bake 5–7 more minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Garnish with parsley and enjoy immediately for maximum cheesy goodness!
Notes
- Best served immediately for the creamiest texture and gooey cheese.
- Leftover bread bowls can be stored separate from the filling and filled later.
- Want a lighter version? Use half skim milk in the sauce or reduce butter by a tablespoon.
- Swap in other cooked meats or add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for variation.
