How to Make The Viral Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread
Step 1: Prep the Garlic Bread Base
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Topping

- Stir until the chicken is thoroughly coated and the cheese is evenly distributed.
Step 3: Assemble and Bake
- Spoon the chicken Alfredo mixture generously over each garlic bread half, spreading to cover the surface.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the top for extra cheesy goodness.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
