Description

Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread is a savory pull-apart bread combining tender pre-cooked chicken, creamy Alfredo sauce, and gooey mozzarella cheese layered between buttery biscuit dough pieces. This crowd-pleasing bake offers a deliciously rich, cheesy flavor and a golden crust perfect for sharing as a hearty appetizer or main dish.


Ingredients

Chicken Mixture

  • 2 cups pre-cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Dough and Cheese

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Sauce: Shred or dice the pre-cooked chicken evenly and combine it in a mixing bowl with Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly to coat the chicken pieces evenly, ensuring a flavorful filling.
  2. Cut and Coat the Biscuit Dough: Slice each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. Toss these dough pieces in the melted butter along with a sprinkle of garlic powder to help develop a golden, flavorful crust when baked.
  3. Assemble the Monkey Bread Layers: Grease a bundt or tube pan well. Start layering by alternating butter-coated biscuit pieces, the chicken Alfredo mixture, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat these layers until all ingredients have been used up, building a deliciously layered pull-apart bread.
  4. Add a Final Cheese Layer and Bake: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top layer of the assembled monkey bread. Place the pan into a preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the bread is golden brown, bubbly, and cooked through.
  5. Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the monkey bread to cool for 5-10 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving plate to retain its shape and enable easy pulling apart. Serve warm for best enjoyment.

Notes

  • You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
  • Using refrigerated biscuit dough saves time and creates a fluffy texture.
  • Ensure the pan is well-greased to prevent sticking.
  • Allowing the monkey bread to cool slightly before serving helps maintain its shape for easy pulling pieces apart.
  • Optional: Add chopped parsley or extra Italian seasoning for garnish and more flavor.
