Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon oil
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 frozen garlic Texas toast slices
  • 15 ounce jar garlic Alfredo sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon dried or fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat.
  2. Step 2: While the chicken cooks, bake the frozen garlic Texas toast slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet following the package directions. Once done, bake for an additional 1-2 minutes to achieve a crispier texture.
  3. Step 3: Use the back of a spoon to create a small well or indentation in each slice of garlic Texas toast to hold the toppings.
  4. Step 4: Spoon cooked chicken evenly onto each toast slice. Add 1-2 tablespoons of garlic Alfredo sauce on top, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled bacon pieces.
  5. Step 5: Return the topped toasts to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and bubbles. If desired, sprinkle with dried or fresh parsley for a fresh finish.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm with the remaining garlic Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the chicken mixture before topping the bread.
  • Substitute mozzarella with provolone or a blend of Italian cheeses for a different cheese profile.
  • Use fresh garlic Texas toast if available, brushing lightly with extra garlic butter for an even richer taste.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through to help the toast remain crisp and the cheese melt nicely. Avoid microwaving if possible to preserve texture.

How to Serve

Two pieces of toasted bread, each topped with several golden-brown grilled chicken pieces as the first layer. The chicken is then covered with a thick layer of melted white cheese that drips softly over the sides. On top, there are scattered small crispy bacon bits adding a reddish-brown crunch and sprinkled green herbs for color. The toasts sit closely on a tray lined with light brown parchment paper, placed on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked chicken for this recipe?

Yes, you can use pre-cooked chicken to save time. Just make sure to warm it before assembling the toasts so everything heats evenly.

Is this recipe suitable for freezing?

While you can freeze the assembled toasts, the texture of the bread may change upon reheating. It’s best to freeze the chicken and sauce separately and assemble fresh when ready to serve.
