Ingredients
  

  • 2 small chicken breasts 6-8 oz each, cut into ½ inch pieces
  • 1 loaf Italian style bread day-old preferred
  • 2 tbsp poultry seasoning or salt, pepper, garlic powder blend
  • 1.5 sticks unsalted butter divided
  • 2 tbsp minced garlic divided use
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, divided
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.25 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking sheet
  • Sharp knife
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Instant read thermometer

Method
 

  1. Cut chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces and season with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Cook seasoned chicken in a large skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Slice bread lengthwise in half. Mix 1 stick melted butter, 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, and red pepper flakes. Spread on both bread halves.
  4. Toast bread in oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy on edges but still tender inside. Watch carefully after 5 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. In the same skillet, melt ½ stick butter over medium-low heat. Add remaining garlic and cook 2-3 minutes. Lower heat and whisk in heavy cream, parmesan, and remaining parsley. Simmer 3-5 minutes until sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Spread half the alfredo sauce on toasted bread, top with chicken and mozzarella, then drizzle remaining sauce. Bake 5 minutes until cheese melts.
  7. Slice into 2-3 inch pieces and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

Use day-old bread for better texture that holds up to sauce. Don't overcook chicken to keep it tender. Make extra alfredo sauce for drizzling - everyone always wants more! Store components separately and assemble before final bake for best results.
