Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked penne pasta

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 French baguette or ciabatta loaf, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Alfredo Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir in the cooked chicken and penne pasta, ensuring everything is well-coated in the sauce.

      Toast the Bread: Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Lightly brush each slice with olive oil on both sides. Toast in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly crispy.

        Assemble the Toasts: Remove the toasted bread from the oven. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken Alfredo pasta mixture onto each slice. Top each with a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

          Bake the Toasts: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy your delightful Mini Chicken Alfredo Pasta Toasts warm!
