Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of bread (French or Italian, hollowed out)
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced)
- 1 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions (sliced, optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the top off the loaf of bread and carefully hollow out the inside, leaving about an inch of bread on the sides and bottom. Save the removed bread for another use (like breadcrumbs).
Step 2: Mix the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions (if using). Mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Stuff the Bread
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, packing it in tightly.
- Place the top of the bread back on.
Step 4: Bake
- Wrap the stuffed bread in aluminum foil to keep it moist.
- Place the wrapped bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Step 5: Serve
- Remove from the oven, unwrap, and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
