Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread

I make this Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread when I want something rich, cheesy, and incredibly comforting. Crispy garlic bread is layered with creamy Alfredo chicken and topped with melted cheese for a warm, satisfying dish.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love how this recipe combines two favorites into one indulgent meal. The garlic bread gives a crispy base, while the creamy Alfredo sauce keeps the chicken tender and flavorful. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, game days, or when I want something hearty without making a full pasta dish. I also appreciate how easy it is to use leftover chicken to save time.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 loaf French bread, sliced in half lengthwise

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. I preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. I mix melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over the cut sides of the bread.

3. I bake the bread for about 5–7 minutes until lightly toasted.

4. In a saucepan over medium heat, I melt butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.

5. I add the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3–4 minutes.

6. I stir in grated Parmesan, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

7. I fold in the shredded chicken and let it warm through.

8. I spread the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture evenly over the toasted bread.

9. I sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and return it to the oven.

10. I bake for another 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

11. I garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 4–6 people.

I usually spend around 15 minutes preparing and about 20 minutes cooking and baking. In total, it’s ready in approximately 35 minutes.

Variations

I sometimes add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the Alfredo mixture for extra flavor. If I want a little heat, I sprinkle red pepper flakes on top before baking. I also enjoy mixing in provolone for an extra cheesy finish.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To reheat, I place slices in a 350°F oven for about 8–10 minutes to restore crispness. I avoid microwaving when possible to keep the bread from becoming soft.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?

Yes, I can use prepared Alfredo sauce to save time and simply mix it with the chicken before spreading.

What bread works best?

I prefer French bread because it’s sturdy and crisps up nicely.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I assemble it in advance and bake just before serving for the best texture.

Can I freeze it?

Yes, I freeze it before baking and cook it from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

How do I prevent soggy bread?

I lightly toast the bread first so it holds up well under the creamy topping.

Conclusion

I love how this Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread brings together crispy, creamy, and cheesy elements in one irresistible dish. It’s hearty, comforting, and always a favorite whenever I serve it.
