Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Substitution Suggestions

  • Chicken: Use turkey or even sautéed mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
  • Alfredo Sauce: Swap with a light cream sauce or a vegan alternative for a healthier twist.
  • Cheese: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for added flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and a perfectly golden-brown crust on your monkey bread.
  2. Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce and seasonings.
  3. Cut the Biscuit Dough: Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This helps the dough pieces absorb the flavors and bake evenly.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Add the biscuit pieces to the chicken mixture; gently toss to coat all pieces thoroughly with the sauce and chicken.
  5. Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese. This mixture will create a gooey, cheesy center when baked.
  6. Assemble in the Pan: Grease a bundt pan well, then layer the chicken and biscuit dough mixture evenly inside. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top to form a flavorful crust.
  7. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked monkey bread to cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey or mushrooms for chicken to vary the flavor or accommodate dietary needs.
  • Using store-bought Alfredo sauce saves time, but homemade sauce will enhance flavor and freshness.
  • Make sure to grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and help with easy removal.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the mixture and keep it refrigerated before baking, add a few extra minutes to baking time if baking from cold.
  • Serve the monkey bread warm for best texture and flavor.
