Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the monkey bread evenly.
Prepare the chicken mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well so the chicken is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce and spices.
Cut the biscuit dough: Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create small pieces that will blend well with the chicken mixture.
Combine biscuit dough and chicken mixture: In a large mixing bowl, gently toss the biscuit pieces with the prepared chicken mixture and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. This will infuse the dough with the rich Alfredo flavor and cheesy goodness.
Prepare the bundt pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and to allow easy removal of the baked monkey bread later.
Assemble the monkey bread: Spread the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly in the bundt pan. Make sure the mixture is well-distributed for even baking.
Add butter and cheese topping: Pour the melted butter evenly over the top of the biscuit mixture. Then sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese on top to create a golden, cheesy crust.
Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. This will reveal the beautifully baked top and make it easy to pull apart and enjoy.

Notes

Using refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy, but you can substitute with homemade biscuit dough for a fresher taste.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before shredding to avoid undercooked chicken in the final dish.
Italian seasoning can be adjusted according to your flavor preference or substituted with fresh herbs like basil or oregano.
Melted butter helps achieve a golden crust and adds richness, so don’t skip this step.
Allowing the monkey bread to cool slightly before removing from the pan helps it keep its shape and makes handling easier.
Serve this monkey bread warm for the best cheesy, gooey texture.
