Ingredients
  

Chicken and Pasta
  • 3 pieces Chicken breasts, cut into cubes Use boneless chicken breasts for best results.
  • 1 pound Pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice) Any type of pasta can be used.
Bread Bowls
  • 6 pieces Kaiser rolls (or more if needed) Choose sturdy rolls that can hold filling.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted For brushing the bread bowls.
  • 3-4 teaspoons Garlic and herb seasoning Adjust seasoning to taste.
Sauce and Toppings
  • 1 jar Alfredo sauce (about 15 oz) Homemade Alfredo can be used for more flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Shredded parmesan cheese For topping the bread bowls.
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil Used for cooking the chicken.
  • Salt and pepper To taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken cubes with garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the seasoned chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, until cooked through.
  3. In a separate pot, boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain well.
  4. Slice the tops off the Kaiser rolls and gently hollow out the centers to create bowls.
  5. Combine melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush the inside and edges of the bread bowls with this mixture.
  6. Bake the bowls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 4-5 minutes until lightly toasted.
Filling and Serving
  1. Add the drained pasta and Alfredo sauce to the cooked chicken. Stir well to combine everything.
  2. Fill the toasted bread bowls with the chicken Alfredo mixture and top with shredded parmesan.
  3. Return the filled bowls to the oven for another 4-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
  4. Serve hot, optionally garnished with parsley or red pepper flakes to add a kick.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven instead of microwave to maintain texture. Cut the bread carefully to avoid leaks.
