Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup butter, melted

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (such as basil, oregano, and thyme)

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a Bundt pan by greasing it generously with non-stick cooking spray or a light coating of butter to ensure easy release later.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and Alfredo sauce. Stir thoroughly until the chicken is fully coated in the creamy sauce, ensuring every piece is flavored well.

      Prepare the Dough: Open each can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into four equal pieces. Set the cut dough aside in a bowl for easy access during assembly.

        Flavor the Butter: In a small mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic, dried Italian herbs, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated, creating a fragrant garlic-herb butter.

          Assemble the Monkey Bread:

            - Take one piece of biscuit dough, dip it into the garlic-herb butter, allowing it to soak up some of the flavor.

              - Place a small spoonful of the chicken Alfredo mixture on top of the dough piece.

                - Roll the dough into a ball and nestle it into the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan.

                  - Continue this process, layering the dough balls and occasionally adding more chicken Alfredo mixture and cheese, ensuring an even distribution throughout.

                    Top with Cheese: Once all dough balls have been added to the Bundt pan, generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the layered dough and chicken Alfredo mixture.

                      Bake: Place the Bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-35 minutes. The bread is ready when it turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese is bubbling enticingly.

                        Cool and Serve: After baking, remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert the pan onto a serving platter, giving it a gentle tap to help release the monkey bread. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and flavor.

                          Enjoy: Tear apart pieces of the warm, cheesy Chicken Alfredo Monkey Bread and savor every delicious bite!
