Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, sour cream (or cream cheese), minced garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper. Stir and cook until everything is combined and smooth. If you’re using Italian seasoning, add it now.
Assemble the Bake:
In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed bread, cooked chicken, and half of the chopped parsley. Pour the garlic cream sauce over the mixture and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
Layer with Cheese:
Transfer the bread and chicken mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Add Final Touches:
Drizzle the olive oil or melted butter over the top to help the bread brown nicely while baking. Sprinkle a bit more salt and pepper, if desired.
Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown on top.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining fresh parsley for a pop of color. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.
