Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Dough and Cheese
- 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the bread.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the chicken.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit pieces to the chicken mixture, tossing gently to coat the dough in the flavorful sauce and seasonings.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture, ensuring the cheese is well distributed.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Layer the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds extra flavor.
- You can make your own Alfredo sauce if preferred for a homemade touch.
- Ensure the biscuit dough pieces are evenly coated to prevent dry spots.
- Use a well-greased bundt pan to avoid sticking and ease removal.
- This dish is best served warm for optimal gooeyness and flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven wrapped in foil to retain moisture.
