Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together 5 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon parsley. Place French bread, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Brush the butter mixture evenly onto the cut sides of the bread. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside. Leave the oven on. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, warm the Alfredo sauce, stirring occasionally. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until the butter is melted and all ingredients are well combined. Remove from the heat. (8 minutes)

05

Step

Spread half of the Alfredo mixture evenly over the toasted bread halves. Distribute the chopped chicken over the Alfredo sauce, then sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, Gruyere cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. (10 minutes)

07

Step

To serve, cut the bread into 2-inch slices. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with any remaining Alfredo sauce for dipping. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce.
If you don't have Gruyere cheese, Fontina or provolone would be great substitutes.
Make sure to monitor the bread closely while baking to prevent burning. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
Feel free to use rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation.
