• 3-4 teaspoons Garlic and herb seasoning
• 1/2 cup Shredded parmesan cheese

2. Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain well.
3. Slice the tops off the kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers gently to create bowls.
4. Combine melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush inside and edges of the bread bowls.
5. Bake the bowls at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until lightly toasted.
6. Add drained pasta and Alfredo sauce to the chicken. Stir to combine well.
7. Fill the toasted bread bowls with the chicken Alfredo mixture. Top with shredded parmesan.
8. Return the filled bowls to the oven for 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bread is crispy.
9. Serve hot with a garnish of parsley or red pepper flakes if desired.

How to Serve Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

Serve Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls hot, right out of the oven. They are great on their own, but you can also pair them with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy with friends and family for a cozy dinner!

How to Store Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls

If you have leftovers, store the filled bread bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within two days. Reheat in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through, so the bread stays crispy.

Tips to Make Chicken Alfredo Garlic Bread Bowls
