Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Cheese Mixture
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1½ cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Biscuit Dough
- 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, large biscuits)
Seasonings and Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan well with nonstick cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cut Biscuit Dough: Cut each biscuit into quarters to make bite-sized pieces that will bake evenly and allow easy pulling apart.
- Season Biscuit Pieces: In a large bowl, toss the biscuit pieces with melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, ensuring each piece is well coated for flavor.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: To the seasoned biscuit pieces, add the cooked shredded chicken, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Incorporate Alfredo Sauce: Pour in 1 cup of the Alfredo sauce and gently stir the mixture until the biscuit pieces, chicken, and cheeses are evenly coated with sauce.
- Assemble in Bundt Pan: Transfer the mixture into the prepared bundt pan, pressing down slightly to compact all ingredients together.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is cooked through. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil to prevent burning.
- Rest and Invert: Let the monkey bread rest in the bundt pan for 10 minutes after baking. Then invert it onto a serving plate carefully.
- Warm Remaining Alfredo Sauce: Warm the remaining ½ cup of Alfredo sauce and drizzle it over the monkey bread or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve the monkey bread warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and easy preparation.
- Feel free to add cooked bacon, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor variations.
- This dish is best served fresh out of the oven to enjoy the melty cheese and soft biscuit texture.
