This Creamy Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread combines the rich, comforting creaminess of a classic Alfredo sauce with the crunchy, buttery satisfaction of garlic bread. It’s a quick and easy 30-minute meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 large loaf French bread or ciabatta
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and place the halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the 4 tablespoons of softened butter with the 2 minced garlic cloves. Spread this mixture evenly over the cut sides of the bread. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the bread is crispy on the outside but still slightly soft in the center.
  3. While the bread is toasting, place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted and bubbling, add the 4 minced garlic cloves. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the 1 ½ cups of heavy cream and the ¼ cup of chicken broth. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Gradually sprinkle in the 1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and smooth. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Add the 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken. Stir to coat evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through. If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or milk.
  7. Remove the garlic bread from the oven. Slice into manageable pieces. Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo sauce generously over the top. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Toast the bread until deeply golden and crispy to prevent sogginess. Spoon the sauce over the bread right before serving. For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese and room temperature heavy cream. Leftover sauce and bread should be stored separately.
