Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

2 small chicken breasts, cut into ½ inch pieces
Olive oil, for cooking
Poultry seasoning, to taste

Bread

1 Italian-style loaf, sliced lengthwise

Garlic Butter

1 ½ sticks unsalted butter (12 tablespoons), softened
Minced garlic, 2-3 cloves or 1 tablespoon

Alfredo Sauce

½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Minced garlic, 1 clove or ½ tablespoon
Butter from garlic butter or additional 1 tablespoon

Topping

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Prepare and cook the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into ½ inch pieces. Toss them with olive oil and poultry seasoning until well coated. Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Toast the garlic bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Mix the softened butter with minced garlic to create garlic butter. Spread this mixture generously on the sliced Italian bread halves. Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until golden and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes.
Make the creamy Alfredo sauce: Using the same pan used for the chicken, melt an additional tablespoon of butter if needed and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the shredded Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Assemble the garlic bread: Once the bread is toasted, spread the creamy Alfredo sauce evenly over both halves. Distribute the cooked chicken pieces over the sauce, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top.
Bake to finish: Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) until the mozzarella cheese melts fully and becomes bubbly and slightly golden, approximately 7-10 minutes. Remove from oven, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and smooth melting texture in the Alfredo sauce.
Adjust garlic amounts based on your preference for a stronger or milder garlic flavor.
Ensure chicken pieces are cooked through before assembling to avoid undercooked poultry.
For a crispier garlic bread, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to prevent burning.
Leftover bread can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to preserve crispness.
