INGREDIENTS
1 (16-inch) loaf Italian bread
1 (8 oz) package chive and onion cream cheese, softened
1 cup bottled Ranch dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
3 cups rotisserie chicken, roughly chopped
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
3 medium green onions, finely chopped
3 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese, divided
1 tablespoon melted butter
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Have a baking sheet ready.
Mix the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, blend the softened chive and onion cream cheese with the Ranch dressing, garlic salt, and onion powder until smooth and creamy.
Add the Goodies: Gently fold in the chopped rotisserie chicken, crumbled bacon, green onions, and 1 cup of the shredded Colby-Jack cheese, mixing until evenly combined.
Prepare the Bread: Slice the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise. Hollow out some of the bread from the center of each half to create space for the filling.
Assemble the Stuffed Bread: Lay 1 cup of shredded cheese on the bottom half of the bread
Evenly spread the creamy chicken mixture over the cheese
Sprinkle another cup of shredded cheese over the filling
Place the top half of the bread over the filling and press down gently.
Final Touches: Brush the entire loaf with melted butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust. Wrap the stuffed bread in foil.
Bake to Perfection: Place the foil-wrapped loaf on the baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the bread is heated through and the cheese is gooey and melted
For a crispy finish, open the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Serve Warm: Allow the bread to rest for 5 minutes after baking, then slice into 1-inch pieces and serve warm.
