Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread recipe:
Ingredients:
– 1 (16-inch) loaf of Italian bread
– 1 (8 oz) package of softened chive and onion cream cheese
– 1 cup of bottled Ranch dressing

—
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Bread: Cut the Italian bread loaf in half lengthwise. Carefully remove some of the interior bread from each half to create a shallow cavity for the filling.
3. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Ranch dressing, stirring until smooth. Incorporate the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and green onions (if desired). Mix thoroughly until well combined.
4. Fill the Bread: Evenly distribute the chicken and cheese mixture into the hollowed-out sections of the bread halves.
5. Bake: Arrange the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few moments before slicing it into thick pieces. Serve warm.
Enjoy this delicious and hearty stuffed bread as a snack, appetizer, or main dish! I would love to hear how it turns out!
