Ingredients

3 pieces chicken breasts, cut into cubes
1 pound pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
6 pieces Kaiser rolls or more if needed
1 jar Alfredo sauce (about 15 oz)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3-4 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Season the chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook them in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes until fully cooked.
Step 2: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Step 3: Slice the tops off the Kaiser rolls and carefully hollow out the centers to create bread bowls.
Step 4: Mix the melted butter with the garlic and herb seasoning. Brush the inside and edges of the bread bowls with this mixture.
Step 5: Bake the bread bowls at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly toasted.
Step 6: Combine the cooked pasta and Alfredo sauce with the cooked chicken, stirring well to coat everything.
Step 7: Fill each toasted bread bowl with the chicken Alfredo mixture. Sprinkle the tops with shredded parmesan cheese.
Step 8: Return the filled bowls to the oven and bake for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread becomes crispy.
Step 9: Serve hot, optionally garnished with parsley or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Tips & Variations

For a richer flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or steamed broccoli to the Alfredo mixture before filling the bread bowls.
Use fresh garlic in the butter mixture for a stronger, aromatic garlic taste.
Substitute the Kaiser rolls with sourdough or ciabatta for a different bread texture.
Swap chicken for shrimp or cooked sausage to vary the protein.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to maintain the crispiness of the bread and thoroughly warm the filling. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread soggy.

FAQs

Can I make the bread bowls ahead of time?

You can prepare and hollow out the bread bowls in advance, but it’s best to toast and fill them just before serving to maintain their crisp texture.

What type of pasta works best for this recipe?

Penne, fettuccine, or any pasta that holds sauce well is great. Short shapes like penne or rigatoni help the Alfredo sauce cling nicely inside the bread bowls.
