Description
Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread is a delicious and hearty dish filled with savory chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch dressing. Perfect for a family meal or gathering.
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
- 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).
- 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.
- Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed-out bread loaf, packing it in tightly.
- Place the top of the bread back on.
- 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.
- Remove from the oven, unwrap, and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
Notes
- Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients.
- Leftover bread can be used for breadcrumbs.
