Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf Italian bread, sliced lengthwise
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced (about ½ cup)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the Italian bread halves cut side up on the prepared baking sheet. Spread softened butter evenly over both halves and sprinkle with garlic salt.
  3. Bake bread for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp. Remove from oven and set aside.
  4. While bread bakes, season chicken pieces with garlic salt, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm.
  6. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil). Stir in Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Continue stirring until cheese melts and sauce thickens slightly, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  8. Spread about ¾ cup of Alfredo sauce over each toasted bread half, reserving about ½ cup for serving. Top bread with cooked chicken, distributing evenly. Sprinkle with mozzarella and white cheddar cheese.
  9. Return bread to the oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden top, broil 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley. Slice and serve warm, with reserved Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, increase the crushed red pepper flakes.
  • This dish can be customized with different cheeses or added vegetables.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
