Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    Place the 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts onto a rimmed baking sheet. Rub olive oil over the top of each one. Sprinkle Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper over each chicken breast. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature is 165°F.
    Once the chicken comes out of the oven, cover it with foil and let it rest for 5 minutes. You'll never have dry chicken again. There you have it, my Perfect Roasted Chicken.
    Allow to cool enough to handle, remove the bones, using two forks, and shred the chicken. Set aside.
    Instructions For Homemade Alfredo Sauce:
    While the chicken is in the oven, take a small sauté pan, set it over medium-low heat, and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add heavy cream, grated nutmeg, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, continuously whisking until the cream begins to thicken. Turn the heat off, add the grated Parmesan cheese, and whisk to combine. Transfer the Alfredo sauce to a measuring cup using a rubber spatula and set aside.
    Now that the homemade ingredients are finished, let's start making this dish.
    Instructions For The Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread:
    Preheat oven to 375° F.
    Spray a large bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
    Remove the pizza dough from the tube. Cut the dough lengthwise and then crosswise into 9 (1-inch) pieces, yielding 18 pieces per tube. Roll each into a ball and set into a large mixing bowl.
    Top the dough balls with olive oil, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Using your hands, mix everything to coat the dough balls.
    In a prepared bundt pan, add 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, 1/2 of the prepared dough balls, 1 1/4 cups of shredded chicken, and 1/2 cup of the Alfredo sauce. Then, add another 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, the remaining pizza dough balls, the remaining shredded chicken, and the rest of the Alfredo sauce. Finally, end with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
    Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
    Using a small rubber spatula, run it down and around the outside rim of the bundt pan to loosen the Monkey Bread for easy release. Invert the bundt pan onto a large plate. Allow the bread to cool for around 5 minutes before serving.
    Garnish: Brush 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the top and sprinkle finely chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley.
    There you have it, my Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread.
