Cheesily yourz,
Cheesy Alfredo Chicken Bread.
Okay so I did this, for real. I went and got these adorable french bread loaves, fully planning to make a cheesy garlic bread for you guys. But then I realized, the internet is filled with millions of recipes for cheesy garlic bread. I mean just go on and search on Pinterest, and you'll know what I'm talking about. And that's when I decided, no I can't just throw in a cheesy garlic bread recipe into the huge sea of garlic bread recipes.
So after a little bit of brainstorming, I decided to make this Cheesy Alfredo Chicken Bread, and can I just tell you how amazing it tastes? It's the perfect appetizer or party food, and everyone will go mad for it. It's also very easy to make, because as you know I'm all about flavor but ease has to come first. Ain't no mommy got time to make complicated recipes, when a toddler is wreaking havoc in the kitchen.
This is one of the best appetizers you'll be making this summer, and you'll become known as the awesome person who makes addictively stretchy cheesy chicken crusty bread and will be invited to all the parties. Or maybe you could hoard this recipe like a treasured secret, and have it while binging on Netflix while the kids sleep. Just sayin. 😉

- For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless (skinless chicken breasts)

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)

- For the Chicken:
- In a large pot, place the chicken and pour over the water and season with salt and pepper. Cook on medium low heat, until the chicken is cooked through. Let cool, and then shred finely. Set aside.
- For the White Sauce:
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter and add the onions. Fry the onions on a medium high heat until they are just translucent, don't let them turn golden.
- Add the flour and stir for 1-2 minutes, until the flour is cooked through.
- Slowly pour in the milk, while continuously stirring. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens up. If you don't continuously stir, lumps might form in the sauce. The sauce is ready when it is thick and coats the back of a spoon. The sauce must be thick so that it coats the chicken properly.

- Now stir in the shredded chicken, and make sure it is fully combined with the sauce.

- Preheat oven to 390 F (200 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. If using foil, lightly grease it with oil.
- Slice the french bread loaves lengthwise.
- Spread the chicken mixture on each french bread and then top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.

There is no mention of milk in the ingredient list. How much did you add for the sauce...probably around
1 1/4 cups?
Hi Laura! Thank you for pointing out I missed the quantity of the milk! I used about 2 cups of milk, I've updated the recipe! Hope this helps 🙂
