Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sliced chicken breast until it’s crispy and fully cooked (about 7-10 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Remove the chicken from heat and stir in the Alfredo sauce until fully combined.
4. Cut the top of the French bread loaf and hollow out the center, leaving about an inch of bread on the sides to create a sturdy outer shell.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and melted butter.
6. Brush the inside of the hollowed-out bread with the garlic butter mixture to impart incredible flavor.
7. Fill the interior of the bread loaf with the crispy chicken Alfredo blend, making sure to pack it in well.
8. Place the top of the bread back on and wrap the entire loaf in aluminum foil.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through and the bread is slightly toasted.
10. Once baked, remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.

Storage and Reheating Tips

If you have leftovers (which is rare because it’s so tasty!), be sure to store them properly. Wrap your leftover stuffed bread in foil and place it in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover it with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until warmed. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread chewy.

Here are some extra notes to make your cooking experience even more enjoyable:

• Make sure your chicken is sliced thinly for a quicker and more even cooking process.
• If you love cheese (who doesn’t?), feel free to add more grated Parmesan or even some mozzarella for an extra gooey filling.
