Proteins
- 2 chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper
Sauces and Dairy
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp butter
Bread and Flavorings
- 1 garlic bread loaf (French baguette or Italian bread recommended)
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Pan-sear in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest before slicing thinly.
- Make the Garlic Butter Spread: Melt butter in a small pan, then stir in freshly minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the sliced garlic bread.
- Assemble the Bread: Evenly layer the sliced chicken over the garlic-coated bread. Spoon the Alfredo sauce on top, ensuring good coverage, then sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses generously.
- Bake Until Bubbling: Place the assembled bread on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Optionally, broil for 1-2 minutes to achieve extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley or basil on top for color and freshness. Slice and serve warm for the ultimate cheesy indulgence.
Notes
- Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce enhances freshness and creaminess.
- Blend mozzarella with provolone or fontina for a more complex flavor and melt.
- Do not skimp on garlic butter; it’s essential for flavor.
- Broil briefly to avoid bitter burnt cheese tops.
- Use a sturdy crusty bread like French baguette or Italian bread to prevent sogginess.
