Description

This Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread is a deliciously cheesy and savory pull-apart bread perfect for a family meal or party appetizer. Tender shredded chicken mixed with creamy Alfredo sauce and Italian seasonings is layered with buttery biscuit dough and loads of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then baked to golden perfection. The result is a flavorful, gooey, and comforting dish that combines the beloved flavors of chicken Alfredo in a fun, shareable bread form.


Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Alfredo Mixture

  • 2 cups pre-cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Biscuit Dough and Coating

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Additional garlic powder for coating (approximately 1/4 teaspoon)

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Sauce: Shred or dice your cooked chicken evenly, then combine it with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure every piece is well-coated with flavorful sauce.
  2. Cut and Coat the Biscuit Dough: Slice each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. Toss the dough pieces with melted butter and a pinch of garlic powder so they will develop a golden, flavorful crust while baking.
  3. Assemble the Monkey Bread Layers: Grease a bundt or tube pan well. Layer the butter-coated biscuit pieces, then spread some of the chicken Alfredo mixture over them, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all biscuit pieces, chicken mixture, and mozzarella cheese have been used.
  4. Add a Final Cheese Layer and Bake: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the assembled monkey bread for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, bubbly, and cooked through.
  5. Cool Slightly and Serve: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving plate to keep its shape intact. Serve warm, allowing everyone to pull apart the delicious cheesy bread.

Notes

  • For best results, use pre-cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover baked chicken.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with a blend of Italian cheeses for added flavor.
  • Make sure to grease the bundt pan generously to prevent sticking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • Feel free to add chopped fresh parsley or basil on top for garnish before serving.
