# Components:

→ For the Dough

01 - 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 packet active dry yeast
03 - 1 cup warm water
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 tablespoon sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon salt

→ For the Chicken Alfredo Filling

07 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, finely chopped
08 - ¾ cup Alfredo sauce
09 - ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 1 garlic clove, minced
12 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
13 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

→ For Topping

14 - 2 tablespoons melted butter
15 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
16 - 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
17 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

# Method:

01 - In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until a foamy mixture develops.
02 - Incorporate olive oil, salt, and flour into the yeast mixture. Combine until a cohesive dough mass forms. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
03 - Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm environment for 45–60 minutes, or until doubled in volume.
04 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
05 - In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cooked chicken breast, Alfredo sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Mix thoroughly.
06 - Gently punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rectangle, approximately 6x3 inches. Spoon 1 to 1.5 tablespoons of the prepared filling down the center of each dough rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal. Gently roll into a breadstick shape.
07 - Place the shaped breadsticks seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the breadsticks with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley.
08 - Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until the breadsticks achieve a golden brown hue.
09 - Allow the breadsticks to cool slightly before serving.
