Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 1 (15 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
Seasonings
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Optional
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a bundt pan thoroughly with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Chicken Alfredo Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with half of the mozzarella cheese, half of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the biscuit dough cans and separate each biscuit. Cut each biscuit into quarters so you have approximately 32 pieces to work with.
- Assemble the Monkey Bread: Dip each biscuit quarter into the melted butter, making sure each piece is coated completely. Begin layering them into the greased bundt pan, sprinkling a portion of the chicken Alfredo mixture on top followed by some mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Continue layering biscuit pieces and chicken mixture alternately until all ingredients are used.
- Add the Alfredo Sauce: Pour the jar of Alfredo sauce evenly over the assembled biscuits and chicken mixture in the bundt pan. The sauce will soak into the dough and bind the layers together during baking.
- Bake the Monkey Bread: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Serve: Allow the monkey bread to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a serving platter so the top becomes the bottom.
- Garnish and Enjoy: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a burst of color and freshness before serving warm. Enjoy the cheesy, flavorful pull-apart bread!
Notes
- Use flaky-style biscuit dough for best layering and texture.
- Ensure the bundt pan is well greased to avoid sticking.
- You can substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately for best pull-apart texture; leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven.
- Optional parsley garnish adds a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.
