1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce

3–4 tsp garlic and herb seasoning

½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
Salt and pepper, to taste

Cook Pasta: Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Drain well.
-
Prepare Bread Bowls: Slice tops off Kaiser rolls and hollow out the centers to create bowls.

Toast Bowls: Mix melted butter with garlic and herb seasoning. Brush inside and edges of the bread bowls. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 4–5 minutes until lightly toasted.

Combine Filling: Mix cooked pasta and Alfredo sauce with the chicken. Stir until well combined.

Notes
-
Use any pasta shape you like; short pasta works best for filling the bowls.
-
For extra flavor, add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the chicken Alfredo mixture.
-
Brush the outside of the bread bowls with extra butter for an even crispier crust.
-
These bowls can be made ahead—just assemble and bake when ready to serve.
