Introduction

Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread is a savory twist on the classic pull-apart bread, packed with tender chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and gooey cheese. Perfect for a cozy dinner or sharing at gatherings, this dish combines comfort and flavor in every bite.

A round pull-apart bread with eight thick segments forms a ring with a hole in the center. The top is covered with layers of melted golden-brown cheese that is bubbly and slightly crispy, showing white gooey cheese underneath. Small bits of green herbs are sprinkled evenly across the top, adding a fresh contrast to the rich cheese. The bread itself is soft and fluffy with a light golden crust peeking through the cheese. It sits on a piece of white parchment paper over a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Step 3: Cut each biscuit into quarters and gently add the pieces to the chicken mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
Step 4: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 5: Grease a bundt pan and layer the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
Step 6: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Let the monkey bread cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or sautéed mushrooms to the chicken mixture.
Substitute biscuit dough with crescent roll dough for a flakier texture.
Use a homemade Alfredo sauce for a fresher taste and to control ingredients.
Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness.

Storage

Store leftover monkey bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10–15 minutes or until heated through. Microwaving is faster but may soften the texture.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the monkey bread in the bundt pan and refrigerate it overnight. Bake it fresh the next day, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

What if I don’t have a bundt pan?

If you don’t have a bundt pan, a deep round cake pan or a springform pan can work as alternatives. Just be sure to grease it well and adjust baking time as needed until golden and cooked through.
