Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough & Cheese
- 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure a perfect baking environment for the monkey bread.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly so the chicken is well coated with the flavorful sauce and seasoning.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces suitable for layering and mixing.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit dough pieces to the chicken mixture and gently toss to coat the dough evenly with the creamy chicken mixture without breaking the dough pieces.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the dough and chicken mixture, distributing the cheeses evenly for melty goodness throughout.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan well, then layer or spoon the chicken, dough, and cheese mixture into the pan, packing it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top for a golden cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm, optionally with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the creamy flavor.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
