Directions

Cook the chicken: Toss chicken pieces with olive oil and poultry seasoning. Sauté in a pan over medium heat until golden. Set aside.
Prepare the garlic bread: Slice bread lengthwise. Mix melted butter with garlic, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Spread over bread and toast at 350°F for 5–10 minutes until golden.
Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same pan, melt butter, add garlic, and cook until fragrant. Stir in cream, Parmesan, and parsley. Simmer on low until slightly thickened.
Assemble: Spread half the Alfredo sauce over toasted bread. Top with cooked chicken and mozzarella. Pour remaining sauce on top.
Bake: Return to oven at 350°F for 5 minutes, until cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm.

Variations

Add spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli for a veggie boost.

Replace mozzarella with provolone or fontina for a different cheesy flavor.
Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or extra red pepper flakes.
Swap heavy cream for half-and-half to lighten it up.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes or in an air fryer for 5 minutes to keep the bread crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the bread soggy.
