Directions to follow
Let’s get cooking with these easy-to-follow directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, and minced garlic. Mix well until everything is combined.
- Roll out your breadstick dough into small rectangles.
- Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture onto each rectangle and roll the dough around it, creating stuffed breadsticks.
- Place the rolled breadsticks on a baking sheet, making sure to leave some space in between.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve warm, and for an extra touch of indulgence, offer additional Alfredo sauce for dipping.
Best ways to enjoy it
To make the most out of your cheese-filled delights, consider these serving suggestions:
- Pair your stuffed breadsticks with a fresh side salad drizzled with vinaigrette to balance the richness.
- Serve with a bowl of marinara sauce as an alternative dipping sauce for a tangy twist.
- For a fun presentation, arrange the breadsticks in a cozy basket lined with a colorful napkin, and sprinkle some fresh herbs like parsley or oregano on top for added flair.
How to store & freeze
Leftovers? No problem! Here’s how to store your cheesy delights for later:
- Refrigerating: Place any cooled leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, wrap individual breadsticks in plastic wrap followed by foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Just remember to label them with the date!
- Reheating: To enjoy, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes, to keep the breadsticks crispy.
Helpful cooking tips
Here are some extra bits of advice to ensure your breadsticks come out perfectly:
- Don’t overfill the dough with the chicken mixture, or they might burst while baking.
- For an added layer of flavor, brush the outside of each breadstick with melted butter before baking and sprinkle with garlic powder or herbs.
- If you’re short on time, using pre-made breadstick dough from the store can save you some effort without sacrificing taste.
Creative twists
If you want to switch things up, here are some fun variations to consider:
- Spicy: Add some red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a kick.
- Veggie-Loaded: Toss in some steamed spinach or broccoli into the filling for added nutrition.
- Meat Lovers: Swap out some of the chicken for cooked bacon or Italian sausage for a meaty indulgence.
