Ingredients
  

1 large loaf of French bread or Italian bread

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)

6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (plus more for garnish)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons melted butter

Optional: 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Prepare the Bread: Carefully slice the loaf of bread in half lengthwise. Use your hands or a knife to hollow out the insides gently, leaving about a ½-inch thick shell. This will create a cavity for the filling.

      Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, chives, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and combined.

        Stuff the Bread: Spoon the chicken and bacon mixture generously into the hollowed-out bread halves, packing it tightly. This will ensure that every bite is flavorful and filling.

          Brush with Butter: Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter. If you desire a spicy flavor, sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes evenly over the top.

            Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted and started to bubble.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice the stuffed bread into pieces and garnish with additional chopped chives for a fresh touch. Serve warm and enjoy!
