• 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Cheese

• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, divided
• 2 cups parmesan cheese, grated, divided

Chicken and Sauce

• 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously spray a large bundt pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy release after baking.
2. Prepare Dough Balls: Cut the pizza dough into ½-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball and place all the dough balls into a large mixing bowl.
3. Coat Dough Balls: Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and ½ cup grated parmesan cheese to the bowl with the dough balls. Use your hands to thoroughly coat each dough ball evenly with the seasonings and cheeses.
4. Layer Ingredients in Bundt Pan: Start by sprinkling ½ cup mozzarella and ½ cup parmesan cheese in the bottom of the bundt pan. Add half of the coated dough balls on top. Then layer half of the shredded rotisserie chicken and ½ cup Alfredo sauce over the dough. Repeat the layering with another ½ cup mozzarella, ½ cup parmesan, remaining dough balls, remaining chicken, and remaining Alfredo sauce. Finish by topping with the last ½ cup mozzarella and ½ cup parmesan.
5. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Release and Cool: Once baked, carefully invert the bundt pan onto a large plate to release the monkey bread. Allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before serving to let the cheese set slightly for easier pulling apart.

• Ensure the bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking and help with clean removal.
