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 & 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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, mixing thoroughly to evenly coat the chicken with the flavorful sauce and spices.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take each biscuit from the refrigerated dough and cut it into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces ideal for layering in the monkey bread.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently toss the biscuit pieces with the chicken and Alfredo mixture to distribute the dough evenly and allow it to absorb some of the sauce.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese along with half of the grated Parmesan cheese into the biscuit and chicken mixture to add creamy, cheesy goodness throughout.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then layer the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top for a golden crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and cooked through, with bubbling cheese.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for about 5 minutes to set, then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
- If you prefer homemade Alfredo sauce, ensure it is thick enough to coat the chicken but not too runny.
- Refrigerated biscuit dough makes this recipe quick and easy, but you can use homemade biscuit dough if you prefer.
- Make sure to grease the bundt pan well to avoid sticking and ensure easy removal.
- This dish is best served warm to enjoy the gooey cheese and soft biscuit texture.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
