Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread

This classic flavor combination comes alive in this made-for-sharing Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread.  The ingredients for the filling are simple to whip together and it's chocked full of flavor.  The filling is sandwiched between 2 layers of Colby-Jack cheese forming the delicious and gooey glue to hold it all together.  After baking slice it into thinner 1-inch pieces secured with a toothpick to serve as an appetizer or cut it into larger portions if you're serving it as a meal.  Either way, it's a winner.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread

My family loves anything with the combination of chicken, bacon and ranch dressing. So, I've come up with many variations and even have some here on my website. Dishes like my chicken bacon ranch crescent pie, which makes a quick and easy weekday meal. Then there's a twist on an Italian classic a chicken bacon ranch stromboli, and one of the most popular recipes on my website a show stopping chicken bacon ranch layered salad.

Turn an Inexpensive Loaf of Bread into this Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread

This version of that flavorful trio of ingredients uses one of those large inexpensive fluffy loaves of Italian bread that's widely available at most grocery store bakeries and is designed to be easy.

• When assembling the ingredients feel free to use your favorite brand of Ranch dressing for the filling and if you're so inclined, lower fat dressing and cream cheese works well, too.
• This stuffed bread can also be served as an appetizer. In that instance, slice into 1 inch portions. As a main dish, slice into 4 inch portion sizes.
• To save time, assemble the filling in advance, cover and chill. Stuff the bread just before baking.

It's not fancy food but, it's scrumptious and tummy filling and the simple-to-find ingredients will have you making it over and over again. You may also enjoy this main dish Double Ranch Chicken and Green Beans recipe from Noble Pig.
