Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Prepare the Bread:
Slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out the center of each half, leaving a small border around the edges. Set aside the bread crumbs for other recipes or discard. - Make the Chicken Bacon Mixture:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully combined. - Stuff the Bread:
Evenly spread the chicken bacon ranch mixture into the hollowed-out bread halves, pressing it down firmly. - Bake:
Brush the top of the stuffed bread with melted butter and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the bread is golden and crispy. - Serve:
Slice the stuffed bread into individual servings and enjoy the savory goodness!
Notes
- If you prefer a bit of heat, feel free to add some chopped jalapeños or red pepper flakes to the chicken bacon mixture.
- To make this recipe even more decadent, you can drizzle extra ranch dressing on top after baking.
- You can also use turkey bacon or a lighter ranch dressing to make it a healthier version.
