Introduction

Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread is a delightful twist on a classic comfort food favorite. This pull-apart dish combines tender shredded chicken with creamy Alfredo sauce, cheesy biscuit dough, and flavorful seasonings for a crowd-pleasing appetizer or main course.

A round, ring-shaped bread with about eight visible sections makes up this dish. The top layer is covered with melted golden-brown cheese that forms bubbly, crispy patches all around. Underneath, the bread looks soft and fluffy with a light yellowish color peeking through the cheese. Small green parsley pieces are scattered evenly on the top, adding a fresh contrast. The bread sits on white parchment paper, which rests on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
Step 3: Cut each biscuit into quarters.
Step 4: Add the biscuit pieces to the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine without tearing the dough.
Step 5: Fold in the shredded mozzarella and half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 6: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Layer the mixture evenly in the pan and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 7: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the monkey bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8: Allow the monkey bread to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture for a mild kick.
You can substitute cooked shredded turkey for chicken to use leftovers creatively.
Try using homemade Alfredo sauce for a fresher taste and better control over seasonings.
If you don’t have a bundt pan, use a round cake pan, but the layering may be less defined.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole monkey bread in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through, about 10-15 minutes.

How to Serve

A round, ring-shaped baked cheese bread with a golden brown crust forms the base, showing a bubbly and slightly crispy texture on top. The outer layer features melted cheese that is browned in patches, creating a glossy, caramelized effect. The inside layers reveal soft, stretchy melted cheese oozing from the cuts around the ring. Small bits of finely chopped green herbs are sprinkled evenly over the entire surface, adding a fresh color contrast. The bread sits on a sheet of parchment paper placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
