  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 1 crusty French bread loaf (large enough to hold filling)

Buffalo Chicken Filling

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice level)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Garlic Butter

  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Pinch of salt

Optional

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping or drizzling
  • Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the chicken filling: Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Toss the chicken evenly with buffalo sauce. Mix in the softened cream cheese and half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses to form a creamy, spicy filling.
  2. Prepare the bread: Slice the French bread loaf lengthwise to create a top and bottom half. Hollow out some of the soft inner bread, leaving a sturdy shell to hold the filling without leaking.
  3. Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped green onions, and a pinch of salt. Spread this mixture inside both halves of the hollowed bread to infuse flavor.
  4. Stuff the bread: Spoon the buffalo chicken and cheese filling evenly onto the bottom half of the bread. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the top half to ensure a melty finish.
  5. Bake to perfection: Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crusty bread for best texture and to hold the filling properly.
  • Do not overfill the bread to prevent sogginess or collapse.
  • Mix cheddar and mozzarella cheeses for flavor and meltiness.
  • Assemble in advance and refrigerate before baking to save time.
  • Keep an eye on baking to avoid burning the garlic butter crust.
