Chicken Alfredo Garlic Toast (Print Version)

Crispy garlic toast layered with seasoned chicken, rich Alfredo sauce, mozzarella, and bacon for a quick, savory meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Garlic Toast

01 - 4 slices garlic-flavored bread, store-bought

→ Protein

02 - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
03 - 4 slices thick-cut bacon

→ Seasonings

04 - 1 teaspoon sea salt, divided
05 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
06 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
07 - ½ teaspoon onion powder
08 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

→ Dairy

10 - ½ cup Alfredo sauce, store-bought or homemade
11 - ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Oils and Fats

12 - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

→ Garnish

13 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Arrange bacon strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes or until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble finely. Reserve a small amount of bacon drippings for cooking chicken if desired.
02 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season cubed chicken evenly with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add to skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
03 - Place garlic bread slices on a baking sheet and bake according to package instructions until golden and edges turn crispy, approximately 8 minutes.
04 - Top each slice of toasted garlic bread with cooked chicken cubes, then spoon Alfredo sauce generously over the chicken. Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella on top and sprinkle crumbled bacon over each slice.
05 - Return the baking sheet to the oven preheated to 400°F and bake for 3 to 5 minutes, just until the cheese melts and ingredients are warmed through. Remove from oven and sprinkle dried parsley over each toast before serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For best melting results, shred mozzarella cheese fresh from a block. Taste Alfredo sauce prior to use and adjust seasoning as necessary.
02 - Allow bacon to rest on paper towels to retain crispness before topping the toast.
