Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 2 (16 oz) cans refrigerated biscuit dough (flaky-style works best)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
- 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup melted butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
-
Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
- Open the biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Cut each biscuit into quarters (you should have about 32 pieces).
-
Assemble the Monkey Bread:
- Dip each biscuit quarter into the melted butter, ensuring it’s well-coated, then place it into the prepared bundt pan.
- After each layer of biscuit pieces, sprinkle a portion of the chicken Alfredo mixture on top, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Repeat the process, layering biscuit pieces and chicken Alfredo mixture until all ingredients are used up.
-
Add the Alfredo Sauce:
- Pour the Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled bread in the bundt pan. It will seep into the dough and help bind the ingredients together.
-
Bake the Monkey Bread:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. You can check by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread to ensure it comes out clean.
-
Serve:
- Once baked, let the monkey bread sit for about 5 minutes before flipping it onto a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy the pull-apart cheesy goodness!
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.
- For an extra cheesy version, you can add additional mozzarella or Parmesan between the layers.
- If you prefer a spicier version, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce.
