Cooking Instructions
- Start by tossing the chicken breasts in a mixing bowl with olive oil and poultry seasoning until evenly coated. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until the chicken turns golden brown and is no longer pink in the center. Remove from heat and let rest.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes until combined. Slice the Italian-style loaf in half lengthwise, and spread the garlic butter mixture generously over the cut sides of the bread.
- Place the prepared bread halves directly on the oven rack or a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for about 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the remaining butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Gradually stir in heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Then, add the shredded Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, allowing it to simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Spread half of the creamy Alfredo sauce over each toasted bread half. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and layer it on top of the sauce. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and drizzle the remaining Alfredo sauce on top.
- Return the assembled bread to the oven and bake for about 5 minutes or until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute before slicing. Serve warm.

Notes
Use day-old bread for better absorption of the sauce, and consider mixing different cheeses for added flavor. Customize with your favorite vegetables if desired.
