Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread
Ingredients:
1 large loaf of French or Italian bread
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup ranch dressing
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
1 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
Directions:
Prepare Bread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cut the loaf in half lengthwise and hollow out some of the bread from each half to create space for the filling.
Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella cheese, and ranch dressing. Mix until well combined.
Stuff Bread: Spoon the filling mixture evenly into the hollowed-out bread halves. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the filling if desired.
Add Topping: In a small bowl, combine melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the bread.
Bake: Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
Serve: Slice and serve warm as an appetizer or a main dish.
