Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small sourdough bread boules or large dinner rolls
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup milk
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bread boules and hollow out the centers, leaving a thick shell. Place them on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil and garlic powder. Brush the insides of the bread bowls with this mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and slightly crispy.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour and cook for another minute.
- Slowly add heavy cream and milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and half of the mozzarella cheese. Let it simmer for 2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture into the toasted bread bowls.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
