Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil for the pasta.
- Thinly slice 5 garlic cloves. Heat about a 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat, then add 1 slice of garlic. Cook until the garlic is at a lively sizzle, then sprinkle in the rest of the garlic. Cook, stirring, until the garlic is just golden and crisp (don't overcook or it will be bitter), about 1 minute. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and whole garlic cloves and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until both the chicken and garlic are golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the wine and adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering, then cover and cook until the chicken and garlic are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Uncover and adjust the heat so the sauce reduces and is syrupy, about 1 minute. Add the cream and simmer until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes; reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente according to the package directions. Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Add the pasta to the simmering sauce and toss to coat, adding a little pasta water if it seems dry. Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the Parmesan and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve in pasta bowls topped with the garlic chips.

Steps:
- In a microwave-proof liquid measuring cup, combine the water and the milk. Microwave on high for 45 seconds.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, garlic powder, Parmesan, and yeast. Mix thoroughly. Pour the milk mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir to combine. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 5 minutes until smooth, if the dough is sticking to the surface add olive oil 1 teaspoon at a time, then form into a tight ball.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C).
- In a separate large bowl, combine the chicken, 2 cups (200 g) mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper, and alfredo sauce. Mix thoroughly.
- Place the risen dough onto a floured surface. Roll out the dough so it is twice as long as it is wide and about ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
- Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll up all of the sides of the dough to create an oval shape. Pinch the dough and pull it while twisting, wrapping the dough into little spirals and placing it onto the rolled edge of the dough. Continue all the way around until you have several little spirals of dough.
- Pour the chicken alfredo mixture over the dough and spread it until it reaches the edges of the dough. Brush the sides of the dough with egg wash. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella on top of the chicken alfredo mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Sprinkle with parsley. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

CHICKEN ALFREDO WITH CRISPY BACON (PAULA DEEN)
A recipe that I thought sounded delicious from Paula Deen's Comfort Food Magazine. Posting for safe keeping. Update 10/17/2013: Made this for DH and myself, so I made 1/3 of the recipe, but still made 2 pieces of bacon (will even make more next time) and I added some additional heavy cream as we like it creamy. We loved the addition of the bacon, onion and garlic to the normal Chicken Alfredo, DH even went back for seconds.

CREAMY CHICKEN ALFREDO
I learned how to make creamy chicken Alfredo from my dad who has always been an incredible cook and amazing teacher. Chicken Alfredo was always my favorite. A lot of the recipes I see that are worthwhile are too much work because you have to make your own sauce, and those that don't have you make your own have no flavor. This recipe shows you how to take plain, bland, store-made sauce and make it more than restaurant-worthy.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your chicken alfredo in a crispy bread loaf the best flavor. Look for high-quality chicken, vegetables, and cheese.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still juicy.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will be watery and flavorless.
- Use a good quality bread loaf: The bread loaf is the base of the dish, so it's important to use a good quality loaf. Look for a loaf that is sturdy and has a good flavor.
- Be careful not to overfill the bread loaf: If you overfill the bread loaf, the sauce will spill out and the bread will become soggy. Fill the bread loaf no more than two-thirds full.
- Bake the bread loaf at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust on the bread loaf.
Conclusion:
Chicken alfredo in a crispy bread loaf is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With its creamy alfredo sauce, tender chicken, and crispy bread loaf, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to serve chicken alfredo, give this recipe a try.
