Description
A comforting dinner that layers creamy Alfredo, tender chicken, and pasta inside a warm, toasty bread bowl for a special meal with little fuss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pieces Chicken breasts, cut into cubes
- 1 pound Pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
- 6 pieces Kaiser rolls
- 1 jar Alfredo sauce (about 15 oz)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 3–4 teaspoons Garlic and herb seasoning
- 1/2 cup Shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Season the chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Cook in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, until cooked through.
- Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain well.
- Slice tops off Kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers gently to create bowls.
- Combine melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush inside and edges of the bread bowls.
- Bake bowls at 375°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until lightly toasted.
- Add drained pasta and Alfredo sauce to the chicken. Stir to combine well.
- Fill toasted bread bowls with the chicken Alfredo mixture. Top with shredded parmesan.
- Return filled bowls to the oven for 4–5 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
- Serve hot with garnish of parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.
Notes
For best results, drain pasta well and avoid overfilling the bread bowls. Toasting the bowls first creates a barrier that keeps the bread from getting soggy.
