Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Pasta

  • 3 chicken breasts, cut into cubes
  • 1 pound pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
  • 1 jar Alfredo sauce (about 15 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 3-4 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning

Bread Bowls & Toppings

  • 6 Kaiser rolls (or more if needed)
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Season the chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
  3. Prepare the bread bowls: Slice the tops off the Kaiser rolls and carefully hollow out the centers to create bowl shapes suitable for filling.
  4. Make garlic butter: Combine the melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Using a brush, apply the garlic butter evenly on the inside and edges of each bread bowl.
  5. Bake the bread bowls: Arrange the prepared bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly toasted and fragrant.
  6. Combine pasta and sauce: In the pan with the cooked chicken, add the drained pasta and Alfredo sauce. Stir gently to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the creamy sauce.
  7. Assemble the bowls: Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture into each toasted bread bowl. Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese generously on top.
  8. Bake again: Return the filled bread bowls to the oven and bake at 375°F for another 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the bread edges are crispy.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy the delicious blend of creamy, cheesy chicken Alfredo in crunchy garlic bread bowls.

Notes

  • You can use any type of pasta you prefer; penne and fettuccine work best for holding the sauce.
  • If you like more garlic flavor, feel free to add extra garlic powder to the garlic butter.
  • Kaiser rolls should be firm enough to hold the filling without becoming soggy quickly.
  • For a spicier kick, add more red pepper flakes when serving.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days; reheat in the oven to maintain bread crispness.
