Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 4 large bread bowls
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

  • Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips or bite-sized pieces.

Make the Alfredo Sauce

  • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the chicken. Let the cream simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.

Add Cheese and Seasonings

  • Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth. Add the remaining Italian seasoning, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm on low heat while you prepare the bread bowls.

Prepare the Bread Bowls

  • Carefully cut the tops off the bread bowls and hollow out the interiors, leaving about a half-inch thick shell. Save the bread you remove for dipping or another use.

Assemble the Bread Bowls

  • Add the sliced chicken back into the Alfredo sauce and stir gently to coat each piece. Spoon generous amounts of the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture into each hollowed bread bowl. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a pop of color and fresh flavor.

Serve and Enjoy

  • Serve the Chicken Alfredo Bread Bowls immediately while warm and creamy. They pair wonderfully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Dig in and savor the comforting blend of creamy sauce, tender chicken, and crusty bread.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Knife

Notes

  • Make sure to not overcook the chicken breasts to keep them juicy and tender.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the richest flavor and smoothest sauce texture.
  • Allow the bread bowls to cool slightly after hollowing to prevent them from becoming soggy too quickly.
