Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or 400°F, depending on your preference for the recipe.

Cut the loaf of Italian bread in half lengthwise and carefully hollow out the center to create space for the filling. If desired, spread garlic butter or melted butter on the insides of the bread for added flavor.

In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Sprinkle some cheese on the bottom half of the hollowed-out bread. Then, generously fill the hollowed-out portion with the chicken, bacon, and ranch mixture.

Top the filling with additional shredded cheese, and place the other half of the bread on top to create a sandwich.

Brush the entire loaf with melted butter and wrap it in foil to keep it moist during baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a softer bread or 30-40 minutes for a crispier loaf. The cheese should be melted, and the bread golden brown.

Once done, remove from the oven and allow the stuffed bread to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions and serving.
