Chicken
- 2 small chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons poultry seasoning (or salt, pepper, garlic powder)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garlic Butter Spread
- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter (12 tablespoons), softened
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (or garlic paste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Bread
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice the small chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Season with poultry seasoning or a mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken pieces until golden and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Set aside.
- Make Garlic Butter Spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
- Prepare the Bread: Cut the Italian style loaf in half lengthwise to create two large flat pieces. Spread a generous layer of the garlic butter mixture evenly over both halves.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken pieces on top of the garlic butter spread on both halves of the loaf. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the bread is toasted and the butter is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the garlic bread from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice into serving pieces. Enjoy warm as a delicious appetizer or side.
Notes
- You can substitute poultry seasoning with Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile.
- For extra richness, sprinkle shredded Parmesan or mozzarella cheese over the chicken before baking.
- If you prefer less heat, omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
- The recipe works great with other bread types like French baguette or ciabatta.
- Store leftovers sealed in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days for best freshness.
