Ingredients
Scale
- 6 small round bread loaves or large rolls
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 2 cups cooked halal chicken breast, diced or shredded

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bread loaves and hollow out the centers, leaving thick sides.

- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in heavy cream and milk. Simmer gently 3–4 minutes.
- Add Parmesan, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in cooked pasta and chicken until well coated.
- Spoon Alfredo mixture into the toasted bread bowls.

Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free bread and pasta, ensuring all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Halal-certified cheese can be substituted with other halal-certified dairy if needed.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid soggy bread bowls.
- You can prepare the Alfredo sauce up to 1 day ahead; rewarm and mix with pasta just before stuffing the bowls.
