Description

If you’re craving a warm, melty, ultra-satisfying meal that combines all your favorite flavors, this chicken bacon ranch stuffed bread will hit every comfort food craving.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 large loaf of French bread or Italian bread
  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon green onions or chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing the bread)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Bread

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the French bread lengthwise without cutting all the way through—creating a pocket. Scoop out some of the inside to make room for the filling.

2. Mix the Filling

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, ranch dressing, mozzarella, cheddar, bacon, garlic powder, pepper, and green onions. Mix until evenly coated.

3. Stuff the Bread

Spoon the chicken mixture into the bread cavity, pressing it in gently. Brush the top of the bread with melted butter for extra crispness.

4. Bake

Place the stuffed bread on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

5. Serve

Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • Add jalapeños or red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Try sourdough or ciabatta bread for variation.
