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 your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a large 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 and gently fold them into the chicken mixture.
Step 4: Add the shredded mozzarella and half of the Parmesan cheese, folding everything together carefully.
Step 5: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly. Layer the biscuit and chicken mixture evenly into the pan, then sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Let the monkey bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert it onto a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
Try swapping mozzarella for provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses.
If you prefer homemade Alfredo sauce, use this simple recipe for a richer taste.
Make sure to grease the bundt pan well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until heated through, or microwave individual portions for about 1 minute.

How to Serve

Fresh green herbs are sprinkled over the top for color. The cheese looks soft and melted around the edges, with stretchy, creamy parts showing through. The ring is placed on a white marbled surface covered with parchment paper, and small bits of herbs are scattered around it. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
