These Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls combine creamy chicken Alfredo with crispy garlic bread, all baked into a toasty, edible bowl. Perfect for cozy dinners, game days, or when you need a comforting, cheesy meal everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small round bakery bread rolls (about 4–5 inches across, like sourdough or Italian rolls)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets, chopped small (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Additional Parmesan and parsley for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Slice off the top 1/2 inch of each bread roll using a serrated knife. Hollow out the inside, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread around the sides and bottom.
  3. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Brush the inside and outside edges of each bread bowl with the garlic butter mixture.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, broccoli (if using), black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed.
  6. Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture evenly into each bread bowl. Top with extra mozzarella or Parmesan if desired.
  7. Place filled bread bowls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and bread edges are golden brown. Tent with foil if tops brown too quickly.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 3–5 minutes. Sprinkle with extra parsley and Parmesan before serving.

Notes

For extra-crispy bowls, pre-toast the hollowed bread bowls for 5 minutes before filling. Use sturdy bread like sourdough or Italian rolls to prevent sogginess. The filling can be prepped ahead and the recipe is flexible—swap in your favorite veggies or cheeses. For gluten-free, use GF rolls; for dairy-free, use plant-based Alfredo and cheese.
