Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Toss chicken thighs with olive oil, poultry seasoning, and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl until well-coated. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, cover with foil, and let it rest while preparing the garlic butter.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while making the garlic butter.
  3. Melt 2 sticks of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, stir in garlic paste, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until evenly combined.
  4. Place buttered bread halves on a baking sheet. Toast them in the preheated oven for 7-10 minutes.
  5. Using the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add more garlic paste, then pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the parmesan cheese until smooth.
  6. Carefully layer toasted bread halves with Alfredo sauce. Add chopped chicken pieces and sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  7. Transfer the baking sheet back to the oven. Bake for another 7-10 minutes, then broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
  8. Let cool for a minute. Slice into portions and garnish with extra parsley before serving.
