Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs cooked chicken chopped
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 tablespoons butter divided
  • 9 cloves garlic minced
  • 15 oz Alfredo sauce
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 loaf French bread sliced horizontally
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the French bread horizontally into two long halves and arrange them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Melt 5 tablespoons of butter. Combine it with the garlic powder and chopped parsley.
  • Brush the garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the French bread.
  • Bake for 4–5 minutes, or until the surface of the bread is lightly toasted and golden around the edges. Remove from the oven.
  • Meanwhile, place the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Stir in about half of the Parmesan and cook gently until the butter melts and the sauce is smooth and warmed through. Avoid bringing the sauce to a vigorous boil.
  • Spread the creamy Alfredo mixture evenly over both pieces of toasted garlic bread.
  • Distribute the chopped chicken evenly over the sauce, then cover with shredded mozzarella and the remaining Parmesan.
  • Return the Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the mozzarella is completely melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
  • Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For the best texture, use a sturdy French bread loaf that can hold the creamy chicken and cheese topping without becoming soggy.
You can add baby spinach, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers for additional color and flavor.
If using rotisserie chicken, choose a halal-certified variety and remove the skin and bones before chopping the meat.
