Buffalo Chicken-Stuffed French Bread

Like we said earlier this week, one of the best things about football season is hitting the stadium parking lot for a day of tailgating. For football fans who prefer to avoid the crowds, a close second is to put the game on at home and have the gang over for a Sunday filled with fun and finger foods. Scrambling for something to bring to the season-kickoff party? We whipped up this tasty Buffalo Chicken Stuffed French Bread, which is easy to make, easy to serve, and sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Yields12 Servings
 1 french loaf bread
 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
 3 cups shredded chicken
 1 cup franks buffalo wing sauce
 1 cup ranch
 1 cup mozzarella cheese
 1 cup mexican-style cheese
 ¼ cup chopped green onions
 ¼ cup bacon bits
1

First, preheat your oven to 350° F, and place parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

2

While oven preheats, cut off the top half of your french loaf, about 1/4 of the way down.

3

Hollow out the center of your loaf, so you end up with something that looks like a bread bowl, then place the hollowed out french bread on the cookie sheet.

4

Place the shredded chicken, cream cheese, Frank’s Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, and both shredded cheeses into a large bowl and mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

5

Pour your buffalo chicken mixture into the french bread and make sure to spread it out evenly.

6

Sprinkle some more of both cheeses on top, along with the green onions and bacon bits. Bake in the oven for 25-35 mins or until cheese looks melty.

7

Let bread sit for about 10 mins, then slice and enjoy!
