Buffalo Chicken Alfredo Bread Bowls combine spicy buffalo chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and gooey cheese inside a warm, crusty bread bowl. This cozy, crowd-pleasing dinner is easy to make and perfect for chilly nights or game day gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small round bread bowls (sourdough or Italian) or 2 large
  • 3 cups shredded cooked chicken (about 400g, rotisserie recommended)
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (480ml, jarred or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (120ml, such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (115g, softened)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (110g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (55g)
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, 30g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (2g)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter (15g, melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
  2. Use a serrated knife to cut a round lid off the top of each bread bowl (about 1 inch deep). Set tops aside.
  3. Gently hollow out the inside of each bread bowl, leaving about a 1/2-inch shell. Save the insides for dipping or snacking.
  4. Brush the edges and insides lightly with melted butter.
  5. In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, buffalo sauce, and softened cream cheese.
  6. Stir in mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Mix until creamy and well blended.
  7. Add garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss in sliced green onions.
  8. Optional: Add blue cheese crumbles for extra tang.
  9. Taste and adjust buffalo sauce or cheese as desired. If too thick, add a splash of milk; if too thin, let sit a few minutes to thicken.
  10. Spoon the buffalo chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into the hollowed bread bowls. Top with extra shredded cheese.
  11. Place filled bread bowls and their lids on the lined baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until filling is bubbly and bread is golden-brown. If tops brown too fast, tent with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  13. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving (filling will be very hot).
  14. Sprinkle with extra green onions, more blue cheese, or a drizzle of buffalo sauce if desired. Serve with bread lids for dipping.

Notes

For gluten-free, use gluten-free bread bowls and check sauce ingredients. Filling can be made up to 2 days ahead and refrigerated. For extra veggies, stir in baby spinach or roasted red peppers. Adjust buffalo sauce for desired spice level. If filling is runny, add more cheese or let sit before baking. For extra-crispy edges, broil for last 2-3 minutes.
