Creating Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls can be fun and straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts by baking, grilling, or poaching until fully cooked. Shred the chicken and set it aside.
2. Make the Alfredo Sauce: If making homemade Alfredo, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Combine Chicken and Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the Alfredo sauce. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
4. Prepare the Garlic Bread Bowls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the hoagie rolls or baguettes in half lengthwise, leaving one side intact to create a “hinge.” Hollow out some of the insides of each roll to create a bowl shape.
5. Brush with Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter with minced garlic. Brush the insides of the hollowed rolls with the garlic butter. This will add flavor and crispiness to the bread.
6. Fill the Bowls: Spoon the chicken and Alfredo mixture generously into each bread bowl.
7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the filled bread bowls.
8. Bake: Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the bread is golden brown.
9. Garnish: Using fresh parsley, sprinkle generously over the top of the bowls for added color and flavor.
10. Cool Slightly: Allow the garlic bread bowls to cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning your tongue on the melted cheese!

Following these easy steps will guide you in creating Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls that are both flavorful and fun to eat!
