Ingredients

Scale

Bread Base

  • 1 fresh crusty French bread loaf, sliced into thick pieces

Chicken

  • 1 to 1½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tablespoons softened butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

Cheese Topping

  • 1 to 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Garnish

  • Additional fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Spread: Melt the softened butter in a small bowl. Stir in the minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and chopped fresh parsley to create a flavorful garlic butter spread.
  2. Slice and Toast the Bread: Cut the French bread loaf into thick slices. Spread the garlic butter evenly over each slice. Toast the slices in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) or on a skillet until the edges are golden and crispy, while the inside remains soft.
  3. Add Chicken and Cheese: Layer shredded cooked chicken evenly on each garlic buttered toast slice. Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the chicken, then evenly add grated parmesan cheese on top for extra cheesy flavor.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the prepared slices on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes over each slice. Serve the cheesy chicken garlic bread hot and enjoy the melty, savory goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crusty bread for the best texture and flavor absorption.
  • Pre-cooked chicken helps save time and prevents overcooking during baking.
  • Don’t skip the garlic butter—it provides the essential savory base flavor.
  • Combine mozzarella and parmesan cheeses for the perfect balance of gooey melt and sharp flavor.
  • Watch the bread closely in the oven to avoid burning the cheese.
