How to make Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread
Crusty Italian bread smothered with garlic butter and topped with Alfredo sauce, chicken and cheese for one tasty pizza.
Ingredients
FOR THE ALFREDO SAUCE:
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 clove Garlic, Minced
½ cups Half And Half, Regular Or Fat Free
1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 pinch Parsley Flakes
1 pinch Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Salt To Taste
FOR THE PIZZA ASSEMBLY:
1 loaf Italian Bread
½ cups Butter, Room Temperature
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
½ teaspoons Parsley Flakes
1-½ cup Cooked Chicken Shredded
2 cups Cooked Broccoli Florets (a Steamable Bag Works Great)
3 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Preparation Instructions
For the Alfredo sauce:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Then add garlic and cook for about one minute longer. Gradually stir in half-and-half followed by Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until blended and sauce thickens.
Reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally until heated through.
Remove from heat. Stir in parsley flakes, pepper and salt.
For the pizza:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. Slice Italian bread in half lengthwise. Put the bread halves onto the sheet, cut side up.
In a medium bowl mix butter, garlic powder and parsley flakes until blended. Generously spread over bread.
In a medium bowl toss chicken with prepared Alfredo sauce. Spread evenly over the Italian bread slices. Top with broccoli then sprinkle with cheese.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until cheese is melted. Cut into desired slices and serve.
Note: Leftover chicken, store bought rotisserie chicken works great for this recipe.
