Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large Italian bread loaf or 4 small individual loaves
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut bread loaf in half horizontally and hollow out centers, leaving 1-inch borders.
  2. Melt 2 tbsp butter with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp parsley. Brush inside of bread bowls with garlic butter and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan.
  4. In same skillet, melt remaining 2 tbsp butter. Add remaining garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Whisk in cream and bring to simmer.
  5. Reduce heat to low and whisk in Parmesan and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in cooked chicken.
  6. Spoon chicken alfredo mixture into toasted bread bowls. Top with mozzarella and bake 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Garnish with remaining parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For crispier bread, broil for last 2-3 minutes. Substitute rotisserie chicken to save time. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2-3 days.
