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
Biscuit 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 monkey bread.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly so the flavors meld together.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take 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 bowl and gently toss to coat the dough in the creamy sauce and seasonings evenly without breaking them too much.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing lightly to distribute the cheese throughout the dough and chicken mixture.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan well, then layer the biscuit and chicken mixture into the pan evenly. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken saves time and adds great flavor.
- You can prepare this dish a few hours in advance and refrigerate before baking.
- For extra garlic flavor, add fresh minced garlic along with the garlic powder.
- Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking when inverting.
