Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded or diced chicken
  • 6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning
  • 1 to 1½ cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend)
  • 1 fresh loaf of bread (French baguette, sourdough, or pizza dough)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or garlic butter
  • 2 green onions or a handful of chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken and Bacon: Cook the chicken by grilling, roasting, or poaching until tender. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crispy and crumble into bite-sized pieces for crunch.
  2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch seasoning, shredded cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Prepare the Bread: Slice the bread lengthwise without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket to hold the filling. Lightly brush the inside of the bread with garlic butter or melted butter for richness.
  4. Stuff and Assemble: Generously spoon the chicken bacon ranch mixture into the bread pocket. Press gently to pack it evenly without overstuffing to allow even heating.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden and crispy on the edges.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice and serve warm to enjoy the melty, savory goodness in every bite.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add flavor.
  • Ensure bacon is crispy to add texture and avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overfill the bread to allow steam to escape and keep filling from becoming mushy.
  • Sprinkle fresh green onions or chives just before serving for added freshness.
  • Mix different cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, and mozzarella to improve meltability and flavor depth.
