Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: Cook chicken breasts by boiling, baking, or sautéing until tender. Shred or dice into bite-sized pieces. Crisp bacon strips in a skillet or oven and chop into small bits to form the flavorful filling base.
  2. Hollow Out the Bread: Slice the loaf lengthwise without cutting all the way through to form a pocket. Carefully remove the soft interior, leaving enough bread on each side to hold the stuffing securely. Reserve the removed bread for other uses.
  3. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, chopped bacon, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Toss thoroughly until well mixed and creamy.
  4. Stuff the Bread: Generously spoon the filling into the hollowed bread loaf. Press down lightly to pack evenly. Brush the top with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust after baking.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Melted: Place the stuffed loaf on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes. The bread should be golden brown with bubbling, melted cheese. Let cool briefly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread to better hold the stuffing and prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overfill the bread to avoid spills while baking.
  • Mixing different cheeses adds depth and gooey texture.
  • Choose a flavorful ranch dressing for best taste.
  • Allow the stuffed bread to rest a few minutes before slicing to set the filling.
