Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Mixture

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
1 cup Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste

Dough and Cheese

3 cups refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Garnish

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature before baking.
Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well so the flavors meld together thoroughly.
Cut the Biscuit Dough: Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters, creating smaller pieces that will bake evenly and pull apart easily.
Combine Ingredients: Gently toss the biscuit pieces into the chicken mixture, coating them evenly without breaking the dough too much.
Add Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese and half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture, distributing evenly for cheesy pockets in the bread.
Assemble in the Pan: Lightly grease a bundt pan to prevent sticking, then layer the biscuit and chicken mixture inside. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to create a golden crust as it bakes.
Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the monkey bread to cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert it onto a serving platter and garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken is a convenient shortcut but you can also use leftover cooked chicken or poached chicken breasts.
Store-bought Alfredo sauce works well, but homemade sauce will elevate the flavor.
Use refrigerated biscuit dough for easy preparation; avoid frozen dough as it may not bake evenly.
This dish is best served warm for gooey cheese and tender bread.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
