A delightful blend of creamy goodness, crispy bacon, and tender chicken tucked inside soft Italian bread, perfect for family gatherings or game day feasts.

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 inch) loaf Italian bread
  • 1 (8 oz) package chive and onion cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup bottled Ranch salad dressing
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1 tsp 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 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Have a baking sheet ready for later.
  2. Mix the softened cream cheese, Ranch dressing, garlic salt, and onion powder in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth.
  3. Stir in the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, green onions, and 1 cup of cheese until evenly blended.
  4. Prepare the Italian bread by slicing it in half lengthwise and hollowing out some of the center bread from each half.
  5. Assemble by sprinkling 1 cup of cheese on the bottom half of the bread, spreading the filling mixture evenly over the cheese, and topping with the remaining 1 cup of cheese. Place the top half back on and gently press it down.
  6. Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter, wrap it loosely in foil, place it on the baking sheet, and bake for 30–40 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted. Open the foil for the last 5 minutes to let the bread crisp up.
  7. Serve warm after allowing the stuffed bread to rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

For best results, make sure to soften your cream cheese completely before mixing. Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
