Ingredients
Scale
- 4 small sourdough bread bowls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (optional)
Feel free to swap out the heavy cream for half-and-half if you’re looking for a lighter version. And if your family is a fan of veggies, toss in some spinach or mushrooms!
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. While the oven warms up, slice the tops off the sourdough bread bowls and gently hollow out the insides to make room for the filling.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, making sure to stir occasionally.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another minute until fragrant, but be careful not to burn it.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, allowing the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your liking. If you’re adding broccoli or any other veggies, now’s the time to stir them in.
- Spoon the creamy chicken Alfredo mixture into each bread bowl, filling them generously.
- Place the filled bread bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are crispy and golden.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Don’t worry if you spill a little sauce—remember, home cooking isn’t about perfection, it’s about the journey and the memories made along the way.
