Ingredients

  • 1 16 inch loaf Italian Bread loaf
  • 1 8 oz 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

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Have nearby a sheet pan.
  • In a medium-size mixing bowl use a mixer to beat together the cream cheese, Ranch dressing, garlic salt and onion powder until smooth.
  • To the bowl add the chopped chicken, bacon, green onion and 1 cup shredded cheese. Mix by hand until combined.
  • Slice the bread loaf in half lengthwise and remove some of the bread from the center of each piece.
  • To Assemble: Sprinkle the bottom piece with 1 cup shredded cheese. Spread the filling over the cheese from end to end. Cover with the remaining 1 cup cheese then gently press the top piece of bread on top.
  • Brush on all sides with melted butter. Wrap in foil.
  • Transfer the foil wrapped loaf to the baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes until heated through and the cheese has melted. Open the foil and let it bake uncovered the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Rest for 5 minutes then slice and serve.

Notes

The bread loaf used in this recipe is a fat fluffy inexpensive loaf readily available in most grocery store bakeries.
You may use one that is longer, but not shorter than 16-inches for the best bread to filling ratio.
