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 ready for baking the monkey bread.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into four equal pieces to create smaller dough pieces perfect for layering.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit dough pieces to the chicken mixture bowl and gently toss so the dough is coated with the sauce and seasonings.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese evenly throughout the mixture for gooey cheesy pockets.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Layer the chicken and dough mixture into the pan evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully invert onto a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Serve warm with extra Alfredo sauce for dipping to enhance the creamy flavor.
- Pair this dish with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- This recipe works great with store-bought rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to easily release the monkey bread after baking.
