Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Alfredo Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Biscuit Dough Layers
- 2 (16 oz) cans refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky-style works best)
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Other
- 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the monkey bread after baking.
- Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and set aside this flavorful chicken blend.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and separate into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters, yielding approximately 32 pieces to create the pull-apart layers.
- Assemble the Monkey Bread: Dip each biscuit quarter into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated. Place a layer of the buttered biscuit pieces evenly in the bottom of the greased bundt pan.
- Layer with Chicken Alfredo Mixture and Cheese: Over the biscuit layer, evenly sprinkle a portion of the prepared chicken Alfredo mixture followed by a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. Repeat layering biscuit pieces, chicken mixture, and cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a biscuit layer on top.
- Add Alfredo Sauce: Pour the jar of Alfredo sauce evenly over the entire assembled monkey bread. The sauce will seep through during baking to create a rich and creamy texture throughout.
- Bake the Monkey Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the bread to cool in the bundt pan for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert onto a serving platter.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve the warm, cheesy chicken Alfredo monkey bread immediately, and enjoy the delicious pull-apart goodness!
