Ingredients for Cheesy Chicken Monkey Bread

To make this creamy chicken Alfredo bread, grab:

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz each)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt & black pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Substitution Suggestions

  • Protein swap: Rotisserie chicken, turkey, or tofu.
  • Sauce swap: Homemade Alfredo, ranch, white sauce, or pesto.
  • Cheese swap: Try provolone, gouda, or cheddar.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Alfredo Pull-Apart Bread

Technique is everything here. Follow these steps for perfect results:

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set it to 375°F (190°C). If you start with a cold oven, your dough won’t rise right—it’ll bake heavy instead of airy.

Step 2: Mix the Chicken Alfredo Filling

In a big bowl, combine:

  • Chicken
  • Alfredo sauce
  • Garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning
  • Salt & pepper

Toss until everything is coated. This creamy mixture is the heart of your bread.

Step 3: Cut and Toss the Dough

Quarter the biscuit pieces with scissors (faster than a knife). Add them into the chicken mixture. Toss lightly—don’t overwork it, or you’ll end up with dense bread instead of fluffy chicken Alfredo pull-apart bread.

Step 4: Add Cheese

Fold in mozzarella and Parmesan. Every dough piece should have some cheese clinging to it. That’s how you get those stretchy bites.

Step 5: Assemble in a Bundt Pan

Grease your pan well. Layer the mixture evenly. Don’t press it down—leave air pockets so the bread can puff up.

Step 6: Bake Until Golden

Bake 25–30 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. The smell will tell you before the timer does.

Step 7: Cool, Flip, and Garnish

Here’s the part everyone rushes: wait 5 minutes before flipping it out. That rest helps the bread set so it doesn’t fall apart. Sprinkle parsley before serving.

Healthier Alternatives for Homemade Alfredo Bread with Chicken

  • Use whole wheat biscuit dough.
  • Try a lighter Alfredo sauce (low-fat or Greek yogurt based).
  • Add veggies like spinach, broccoli, or mushrooms for bulk and nutrients.

Serving Suggestions for Chicken Alfredo Casserole Bread

This dish is versatile. Serve it:

  • As an appetizer: Pair with Alfredo or marinara dipping sauce.
  • With a salad: Bright greens cut through the richness.
  • As a full meal: Plate with roasted veggies or garlic bread for a full comfort-food spread.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Making Alfredo Chicken Bread Recipe

  1. Overmixing the dough → tough bread.

Take it slow. Bread rewards patience.

Storing Tips for Creamy Chicken Alfredo Bread

  • Refrigerate: 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Reheat: Oven at 350°F for 10 minutes (skip the microwave unless you like soggy).
  • Freeze: Up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in fridge before reheating.
