Ingredients
Scale
Garlic Bread
- 1 loaf Italian or French bread, halved lengthwise
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Buffalo Chicken Filling
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Garlic Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley. Spread this garlic butter mixture evenly on the cut sides of the bread halves.
- Make the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until well coated, creating a spicy flavorful filling.
- Stuff the Bread: Generously spread the buffalo chicken mixture over one half of the garlic bread. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly on top of the chicken mixture. Place the other half of the bread on top, pressing gently to sandwich the filling.
- Bake the Stuffed Bread: Wrap the stuffed garlic bread loaf in aluminum foil and place it on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then unwrap the foil and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the bread is crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice the stuffed garlic bread into serving pieces and enjoy warm as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For extra heat, add diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture.
- Use your favorite buffalo sauce brand or homemade sauce for customization.
- To make it easier to eat, slice the stuffed bread before serving.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Substitute chicken with chickpeas or cauliflower for a vegetarian version.
