14 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
15 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
03 - Stir in heavy cream and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add Parmesan, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
04 - Add the cooked chicken to the Alfredo sauce. Stir to coat, then remove from heat.
05 - Slice the bread in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and parsley. Spread the garlic butter evenly over both bread halves.
06 - Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture over the bread halves, spreading evenly.
07 - Top with mozzarella and provolone cheese.
08 - Place the bread halves on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
09 - Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and slice into pieces. Serve warm.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • That magical moment when cheese bubbles over the crust and gets all crispy and golden
  • The bread soaks up the Alfredo sauce like a sponge, so every bite is impossibly creamy
  • It looks fancy enough for company but comes together in under 45 minutes
02 -
  • Don't skip the parchment paper because the cheese will bubble over and stick to your baking sheet
  • Let the chicken mixture cool slightly before piling it on the bread, otherwise the butter melts and makes everything slide off
  • The bread is done when the edges are deep golden brown and the cheese has those perfect crispy spots
03 -
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese because pre grated stuff has anti caking agents that prevent smooth melting
  • Room temperature ingredients combine more easily and create a creamier sauce texture
