How To Make Chicken Alfredo Stuffed French Bread
Step One:
Slice a loaf of french bread in half and tear out the soft bread that is in the center. Place the pieces of french bread into a large bowl and tear into small chunks.
Step Two:
Add diced, cooked chicken (I used rotisserie chicken), alfredo sauce, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and pepper to the bowl with the bread pieces and stir until combined.
Microwave the chicken alfredo mixture on high for 3-5 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Step Three:
Scoop the mixture into one of the halves of the French bread loaf. Sprinkle with additional shredded mozzarella cheese and place the second half of the loaf on top. Using a pastry brush, cover the loaf with melted garlic butter.
Step Four:
Wrap the stuffed french bread with aluminum foil. Bake it at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. If you would like the bread to be crispier, you can bake the loaf uncovered for the last 5 minutes.
Carefully unwrap the foil and cut the Chicken Alfredo Stuffed French Bread into slices. Sprinkle with chopped parsley as a pretty garnish.
I brought a loaf of this Chicken Alfredo Stuffed French Bread to my sister’s house and her kids told me that they loved it and all wanted seconds. They told me that their youngest sister didn’t want to try it at first but they got her to change her mind and she ended up loving it too.

Just a question have you ever baked the bread with the Alfredo sauce and chicken in it? Like roll the dough out add the sauce and chicken and fold back together or lay another loaf on top and pinch the sides together?
