Description
Cozy and crowd-pleasing chicken alfredo served in toasted bread bowls, perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- Season the cubed chicken with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned. Remove from heat.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 1 pound pasta until al dente. Drain well.
- Slice the tops off 6 Kaiser rolls and gently hollow out the centers to form bowls, leaving about a 1/2-inch shell for structure.
- Combine 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter with an extra sprinkle of garlic and herb seasoning. Brush the inside and edges of each bread bowl generously.
- Place the prepared rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Add the drained pasta and 1 jar Alfredo sauce to the skillet with the cooked chicken. Stir until everything is combined and heated through.
- Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture into the toasted bread bowls and top each with 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese divided among them.
- Bake the filled bowls at 375°F (190°C) for another 4–5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread edges are nicely crisp.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley or a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like heat.
Notes
You can substitute Kaiser rolls with small sourdough boules or large ciabatta rolls. For a quicker option, use shredded rotisserie chicken.
