Ingredients
To bring this dish to life, you’ll need a few simple ingredients that, when combined, create a symphony of flavors that will have everyone asking for seconds.
- 4 large sourdough rolls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
You can substitute the sourdough rolls with any sturdy bread bowl of your choice, and feel free to swap out spinach for kale if you prefer a different green.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare the bread bowls by cutting off the tops and hollowing out the insides, leaving a sturdy shell.
- In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- In a large pan, combine the heavy cream, milk, and flour. Cook over medium heat, whisking continuously until the mixture begins to thicken, approximately 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Add shredded chicken and spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts and the chicken is heated through.
- Place the hollowed-out bread bowls on a baking sheet. Fill each bowl with the chicken Alfredo mixture.
- Top each filled bowl with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
As you create this dish, remember the beauty in the process. Cooking is more than a task; it’s an opportunity to bring joy to your loved ones.
