Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Sauce: Shred or dice your cooked chicken evenly. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with the Alfredo sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ensuring every piece is well-coated to maximize flavor.
Cut and Coat the Biscuit Dough: Slice each biscuit into quarters to create bite-sized pieces. Toss the dough pieces gently in the melted butter and sprinkle with a little garlic powder to help them develop a golden, flavorful crust during baking.
Assemble the Monkey Bread Layers: Grease a bundt or tube pan thoroughly. Start layering by placing some butter-coated biscuit pieces at the bottom, then add an even layer of the chicken Alfredo mixture, followed by a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat layering with remaining biscuit pieces, chicken mixture, and mozzarella cheese until all ingredients are used.
Add a Final Cheese Layer and Bake: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the assembled monkey bread for 30-35 minutes until the biscuit dough is cooked through, golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove the bundt pan from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully invert the monkey bread onto a serving plate to preserve its shape. Serve warm for easy pulling apart and enjoy the gooey, cheesy, chicken-filled treat.

Notes

Use pre-cooked chicken to save time; leftover rotisserie chicken works well.
Ensure biscuits are well coated with melted butter to create a crispy crust.
Feel free to add extra Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
This dish can be prepared a few hours ahead and baked just before serving.
Use a bundt or tube pan to help the monkey bread hold its shape when inverted.
