Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then chop and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken, bacon, shredded cheese, ranch dressing, ranch seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Cut the top off the bread loaf and carefully hollow out the center, leaving a thick shell around the edges and bottom.
- Fill the hollowed bread generously with the chicken bacon ranch mixture, pressing gently to pack it evenly.
- Brush the outside of the bread with melted butter or olive oil.
- Place the stuffed loaf on a baking tray and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, let rest briefly, then slice and serve warm.
Notes
Choose sturdy bread to prevent tearing.
Do not overfill with ranch dressing to avoid soggy bread.
Let rest before slicing for cleaner portions.
Best served warm while the cheese is melted.
