Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 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
Bread and Toppings
- 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
- Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of cubed chicken breast and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook the chicken until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove from heat.
- Bake the Texas Toast: While the chicken cooks, place 8 frozen garlic Texas toast slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, then cook for 1-2 additional minutes to crisp up the bread.
- Create Wells in Toast: After baking, use the back of a spoon to press down and create a small well in each piece of toast to hold toppings.
- Assemble Toasts: Top each toast slice with cooked chicken, 1-2 tablespoons of garlic Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon pieces.
- Melt Cheese: Return the assembled toasts to the oven until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly. Optionally, garnish with dried or fresh parsley.
- Serve: Serve the Chicken Alfredo Garlic Texas Toast warm, accompanied by the remaining Alfredo sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
- Choose garlic Texas toast with a crispy edge to hold the toppings without becoming soggy.
- Cook bacon ahead of time for convenience and crispiness.
- Use fresh parsley for a brighter garnish or dried parsley as a pantry staple.
- Leftover Alfredo sauce can be warmed gently for dipping purposes.
- Customize with additional toppings like sautéed mushrooms or spinach if desired.
