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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the bread evenly.
- Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and the chicken is evenly coated.
- Cut the Biscuit Dough: Cut each refrigerated biscuit into quarters, creating bite-sized pieces that will bake perfectly inside the monkey bread.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit dough pieces to the bowl with the chicken mixture. Toss gently to coat the biscuit pieces evenly with the Alfredo sauce and seasoning blend.
- Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese, ensuring the cheese is distributed throughout the mixture for a creamy, gooey texture.
- Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Layer the chicken, biscuit, and cheese mixture evenly inside the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top for a flavorful crust.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving platter. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
- Store-bought Alfredo sauce saves time, but homemade sauce can enhance flavor.
- Make sure to grease the bundt pan well to prevent sticking.
- This monkey bread is best enjoyed warm for gooey cheese pull-apart bites.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but texture is best fresh.
