Ingredients

  • 4 small round bread rolls or sandwich boule loaves
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz cooked pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rotini)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese blend (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice tops off the bread rolls and hollow out the centers to create bowls.
  3. Mix melted butter with garlic and parsley. Brush the inside and outside of each bread bowl with the mixture.
  4. Sprinkle Parmesan inside the bowls and place on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.
  5. In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Stir in Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce thicken slightly.
  7. Add cooked chicken and pasta to the sauce, stirring until evenly coated.
  8. Spoon Alfredo mixture into toasted bread bowls. Top with shredded mozzarella or cheese blend if desired.
  9. Return to the oven for 5–7 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with extra parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftovers for a quick option.
  • Mix in vegetables like broccoli or spinach for added nutrition.
  • Spice it up with red pepper flakes or Cajun seasoning.
  • Store-bought Alfredo sauce works in a pinch—just enhance it with garlic.
  • To prevent sogginess, toast bread bowls well before filling.
