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 reaches the correct temperature for baking the monkey bread evenly.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken with the flavorful sauce and seasonings.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating smaller pieces that will be easy to toss and bake.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture bowl and gently toss them together, ensuring every piece of dough is coated with the saucy chicken mixture.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture, distributing the cheese throughout for gooey bites.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan well to prevent sticking. Layer the combined dough, chicken, and cheese mixture into the pan evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a golden cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuit dough is cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbling with cheese.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the bundt pan for about 5 minutes. Then invert it onto a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a fresh, vibrant touch.
