Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 2 cans refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits per can)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
- Prepare the chicken: If using raw chicken, cook and shred or dice about 2 cups of chicken breasts or thighs. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Prepare the biscuit dough: Cut each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, combine biscuit dough pieces, cooked chicken, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper.
- Make Alfredo sauce mixture: Whisk together melted butter and Alfredo sauce in a separate bowl.
- Layer the dough: Pour half of the Alfredo butter mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Add half of the dough-chicken mixture, drizzle with more Alfredo sauce, and repeat layering with the remaining ingredients.
- Bake: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the dough is golden and fully cooked through. Check doneness by pulling apart a biscuit piece to ensure it’s not raw.
- Cool and serve: Let cool for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Add vegetables: Try sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
- Homemade Alfredo sauce: For extra creaminess, use homemade Alfredo sauce.
- Spicy twist: Add crushed red pepper or diced jalapeños.
- Different cheeses: Swap mozzarella for cheddar or provolone.
