Chicken Alfredo Garlic Texas Toast (Print Version)

Crispy garlic Texas toast topped with seasoned chicken, garlic Alfredo sauce, melted mozzarella cheese, and crumbled bacon.

# Ingredients:

→ For the Chicken

01 - 1 tablespoon oil
02 - 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
03 - 1 teaspoon paprika
04 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
07 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
08 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ For Assembly

09 - 8 frozen garlic Texas toast slices
10 - 15 oz jar garlic Alfredo sauce
11 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 6 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled
13 - 1 teaspoon dried or fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir and cook until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from heat.
02 - While the chicken is cooking, bake the frozen garlic Texas toast on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet according to the package directions. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bread is slightly crispier than normal.
03 - When the toast is done, use the back of a spoon to gently press down and create a well in each piece of toast - this makes a little pocket for the toppings.
04 - Top each slice of garlic Texas toast with some of the cooked chicken, 1 to 2 tablespoons of garlic Alfredo sauce, some shredded mozzarella cheese, and then the cooked bacon pieces.
05 - Pop the topped toast back into the oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
06 - If you like, sprinkle with dried parsley for color. Serve hot with the leftover Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping!

# Notes:

01 - Baking the toast a little longer than the package says makes it crispy enough to hold all the toppings.
02 - Making a well in the toast helps keep the toppings from sliding off.
03 - You can use rotisserie chicken to make this even faster - just warm it up before topping.
04 - These make great appetizers for parties or a fun dinner!
05 - The extra Alfredo sauce is perfect for dipping.
