Ingredients
Chicken
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper divided
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Alfredo Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons salted butter
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garlic Bread
- 1 loaf of French bread
- 4 Tablespoons salted butter softened
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ½ Tablespoon parsley
- 2 cups freshly grated Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Season the Chicken
- In a small bowl, combine 3/4 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and paprika. Season both sides of the chicken evenly with the mixture.
Cook the Chicken
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until the surface is browned, about 6 minutes. Stir and continue to cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean plate and cover to keep warm. Remove any burnt pieces from the pan to make the Alfredo sauce.
Alfredo Sauce
- Heat the skillet used to cook the chicken over medium-low heat. Add butter. Once melted, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, 30 seconds. Do not brown the butter or garlic.
- Add the heavy cream, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper, and stir to combine. Bring the cream to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook, frequently stirring, scraping the sides and bottom to make sure the cream does not curdle. Reduce the sauce to about 1 cup. This takes around 8 minutes or so. It should be lightly thickened, coating a spoon. Turn off the heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.
Garlic Bread
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise. Place the two pieces, cut side up, onto a large baking sheet.
- Mix the softened butter, garlic and parsley together in a small bowl. Spread both top halves of the bread with this garlic butter. Place the bread in the oven and bake for 6 minutes.
- Carefully remove the oven. Spread a thick layer of the Alfredo sauce over the tops of the breads. Sprinkle the tops with 1 cup of Mozzarella cheese on each half. Top the cheese evenly with the seasoned cooked chicken. Top the chicken with another layer of Alfredo sauce.
- Place the pan back in the oven and bake for another 12 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
