Description

Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread is a comforting and crowd-pleasing dish that combines fluffy, pull-apart biscuit dough with creamy Alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and melted cheeses. Perfect for family meals or parties, this easy-to-make baked dish delivers rich flavor and cheesy goodness in every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed

Bread

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (usually 8 biscuits)

Sauces and Dairy

  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Seasoning and Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Sauce: Shred or dice the cooked chicken. Gently warm the Alfredo sauce in a saucepan and season it lightly with garlic powder to enhance the flavor.
  2. Cut the Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough can and separate the biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 4 to 6 bite-sized pieces to make pulling apart easier.
  3. Combine Chicken and Cheese with Dough Pieces: In a large mixing bowl, toss the biscuit pieces together with the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and some Parmesan cheese. Pour the warmed Alfredo sauce over the mixture and stir gently, coating everything evenly without squashing the dough.
  4. Assemble the Monkey Bread: Thoroughly grease a bundt pan or oven-safe dish. Layer the combined mixture evenly in the pan, making sure the chicken and cheesy pieces are distributed throughout to ensure every piece is flavorful and cheesy.
  5. Bake to Golden Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled monkey bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and is cooked through. The Alfredo sauce should bubble slightly as it melds with the soft dough.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. This resting time helps the cheesy sauce set properly. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature biscuit dough for better baking and texture.
  • Gently mix ingredients to maintain fluffy dough pieces.
  • Grease the pan very well to prevent sticking and preserve the shape.
  • Cook chicken ahead of time to save preparation time and enhance flavor integration.
  • Check the bake time at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking and drying out the monkey bread.
