Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Bread
Chicken Alfredo Stuffed Bread is a warm, cheesy comfort food made with crusty French or Italian bread filled with tender chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese, then baked until golden and bubbly. It’s perfect for family dinners, game days, parties, or an easy weeknight meal.Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise and carefully hollow out some of the soft interior, leaving enough bread around the edges to support the filling. Reserve the removed bread for homemade breadcrumbs or croutons.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into both halves of the prepared bread, pressing it gently into the hollowed center.
- Mix the melted butter with the garlic powder and brush it over the edges and top of the bread. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the bread is golden brown. For extra color, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end while watching carefully.
- Allow the stuffed bread to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into serving pieces. Serve warm.
Notes
- Thick Alfredo sauce works best and prevents the bread from becoming soggy.
- Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saving option.
- Freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan melt more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
- Add cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or jalapeños for delicious variations.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven at 375deg F (190degC). Prepare a baking sheet either with parchment or grease it slightly.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Split the loaf of bread into half. It is best to very carefully scoop some of the soft interior out, to form a space where the filling may be placed, but still have sufficient bread on the sides to make it firm.
And preserve the cut out bread to be used as breadcrumbs or croutons.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Put into a large bowl cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Blend until smooth and thoroughly blended.
Step 4: Fill the Bread
Pour in chicken Alfredo mixture in a large way into hollowed bread. Pour it in evenly and loosely form the filling heaps in case of necessity.
Step 5: Add the Topping
Add the power of the garlic to the melted butter. Dust it all around the sides and the top of the bread. Add parsley which has been chopped.
Step 6: Bake
Put the stuffed bread in the already prepared baking sheet and put it to bake between 18-22minutes, or until the cheese has melted, bubbly and slightly golden.
To brown it, broil the last minute or two being carefully observed.
Step 7: Rest and Slice
Take out of the oven, and allow the bread to be left to rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
Perfect Stuffed Bread Tips.
- Apply a thick Alfredo sauce thereby preventing a wet bread.
- Do not hollow the loaf too it should have form.
- Allow to cool then cut in order to allow setting of the filling.
- The reason why freshly grated cheese is better than pre-shredded cheese is its melting better.
