Main Ingredients
- 2 cups pre-cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 can (16 oz) Pillsbury biscuit dough or equivalent biscuit dough pieces
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (such as oregano, basil, thyme blend)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken and Sauce: Shred or dice the cooked chicken and mix it thoroughly with Alfredo sauce in a bowl until evenly coated.
- Cut and Coat the Biscuit Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into small bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian herbs until well coated.
- Layer the Ingredients in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan or similar baking dish well. Begin layering by adding some biscuit pieces, followed by a portion of the chicken Alfredo mixture, then a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, creating pockets of cheesy, creamy bread throughout.
- Bake to Perfect Golden Brown: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pan inside and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is puffed, golden brown, and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for a few minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve warm and enjoy the pull-apart cheesy goodness.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even baking and perfect cheese melting.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; layer ingredients loosely to allow heat circulation and a fluffy texture.
- Thoroughly grease your baking pan for easy removal and clean pull-apart pieces.
- Let the monkey bread rest briefly before serving to prevent a soggy bottom.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like provolone or gouda for variety.
