- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Make the garlic butter by mixing softened butter, roasted garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Season the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika powder, red chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 6 minutes per side in a hot pan or grill. Once cooked, cut into slices.
- For the Alfredo sauce, whisk together heavy whipping cream and cream cheese in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add Parmesan cheese and stir constantly until smooth. Add garlic powder and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the bread loaf in half and spread garlic butter evenly over the open surfaces.
- Top with Alfredo sauce, followed by mozzarella cheese. Add sliced chicken and drizzle with more Alfredo sauce. Garnish with chopped coriander.
- Place the bread on a prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve with additional Alfredo sauce and enjoy!
Tip: Pat the protein dry before it hits the pan — moisture is what stops a proper crust from forming.
