Ingredients
Scale
- 1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled ground beef
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Start by combining the cooked shredded chicken, cooked ground beef, chopped onions, bell peppers, ranch dressing, and shredded cheese in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and carefully hollow out some of the soft insides to create space for the filling. Brush the cut sides with olive oil for an extra crispy exterior, then spread the prepared filling evenly inside the bread halves.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Wrap the filled bread in aluminum foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Once baked, remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.
Notes
- For added flavor, sprinkle chopped fresh herbs or additional cheese on top before baking.
- Ensure the bread is evenly filled for a consistent taste in every slice.
- You can customize the filling with vegetables or different types of cheese based on your preferences.
