how to make Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

Ingredients :
3 pieces Chicken breasts, cut into cubes, 1 pound Pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice), 6 pieces Kaiser rolls (or more if needed), 1 jar Alfredo sauce ((about 15 oz)), 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted, 3-4 teaspoons Garlic and herb seasoning, 1/2 cup Shredded parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon Olive oil, Salt and pepper (to taste)

Directions :

• Season the chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, until cooked through.
• Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain well.
• Slice tops off kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers gently to create bowls.
• Combine melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush inside and edges of the bread bowls.
• Bake bowls at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until lightly toasted.
• Add drained pasta and alfredo sauce to the chicken. Stir to combine well.
• Fill toasted bread bowls with the chicken alfredo mixture. Top with shredded parmesan.
• Return filled bowls to the oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
• Serve hot with garnish of parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.

how to serve Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

Serve the bowls hot so the sauce is creamy and the bread is crisp. Place each bread bowl on a plate to catch drips. Add a small salad or steamed veggies on the side for balance. A sprinkle of extra parmesan or fresh parsley adds color and taste.

how to store Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

• If you have leftovers, remove the filling from the bread bowls and put it in an airtight container.
• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the filling on the stove or in the microwave until hot. Add a splash of milk or cream if the sauce looks thick.
• The hollowed rolls can become soft in the fridge. If you want to save them, store rolls and filling separately.

tips to make Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

• Cook the chicken well but do not overcook. Small cubes cook faster and stay juicy.
• Use fresh grated parmesan for best flavor.
• Toast the bread bowls well so they hold the sauce longer.

variation (if any)

• Make it spicy: add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
• Add vegetables: stir in peas, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes.
• Use different cheese: swap part of the parmesan for mozzarella for extra melt.
• Swap protein: use shrimp or turkey instead of chicken.
