  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

3 chicken breasts, cut into cubes

1 pound pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)

6 kaiser rolls (or more if needed)

1 jar alfredo sauce (about 15 oz)

1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted

34 teaspoons garlic and herb seasoning

½ cup shredded parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

For garnish:

Fresh parsley (optional)

Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the chicken: Season chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through.

  • Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

  • Prepare the bread bowls: Slice the tops off the kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers to create bowl shapes.

  • Make garlic butter: Mix the melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush the inside and edges of the bread bowls with the garlic butter mixture.

  • Bake the bread bowls: Place the prepared bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 4-5 minutes, until lightly toasted.

  • Combine pasta and sauce: In the pan with the cooked chicken, add the pasta and alfredo sauce. Stir to combine, ensuring the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.

  • Assemble the bowls: Fill each bread bowl with the chicken alfredo mixture. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese on top.

  • Bake again: Return the filled bread bowls to the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy around the edges.

  • Serve and enjoy: Garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes for added flavor and texture. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetarian version: Swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted vegetables for a veggie-packed version.

  • Spicy option: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken and pasta mixture or drizzle hot sauce on top for a kick of heat.

  • Cheese lovers: For extra cheesiness, sprinkle more mozzarella or fontina cheese on top before baking.

  • Gluten-free: Use gluten-free bread rolls and pasta to make this recipe gluten-free.
