Cheesy Chicken and Bacon-Stuffed Bread Loaf
Ingredients:
1 loaf of crusty bread (such as baguette or ciabatta)
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the bread lengthwise, creating a top and bottom half. Hollow out the inside of both pieces of bread, leaving about a 1-inch border.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped bacon, mozzarella, cheddar, cream cheese, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
Spoon the filling mixture into the hollowed-out bread, pressing it down lightly to pack it in.
Brush the top of the bread with olive oil for a crispy finish.
Place the bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces.
Serve warm and enjoy!
