Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Substitution Suggestions

  • Chicken: Use turkey or sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
  • Alfredo Sauce: Swap with a light cream sauce or a vegan alternative for a healthier twist.
  • Cheese: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for added flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and achieve a perfectly golden-brown monkey bread.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce and spices.
  3. Cut the Biscuit Dough: Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This allows the dough pieces to mix well and be infused with flavor throughout.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit dough pieces into the chicken mixture. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all the dough pieces with the sauce and chicken evenly.
  5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. This blend will create a rich, cheesy center in the monkey bread once baked.
  6. Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan well. Layer the chicken and biscuit mixture evenly into the pan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top to create a deliciously savory crust.
  7. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the dough comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving to add a bright, fresh touch.

Notes

  • For best results, use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken to enhance flavor and texture.
  • If using frozen biscuit dough, allow it to thaw according to package instructions before cutting.
  • You can prepare the mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it, then bake when ready.
  • Experiment with the cheese types for different flavor profiles.
  • Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to prevent sticking during baking.
  • This recipe is best served warm for the gooey cheese effect.
