Description

This Cheesy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bread is a simple weeknight meal or delicious appetizer! Your guests will go crazy for this – it’s filled with buffalo chicken goodness and it looks nearly nearly as good as it tastes!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup Buffalo Wing sauce (I used Frank’s)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 cup grated cheddar cheese (or cheddar blend), divided
  • 2 French Baguettes
  • Optional garnish – fresh cilantro, blue cheese crumbles, ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to broil. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a medium sauce pot combine the chicken, cream cheese, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, paprika, cumin, and salt. Cook over medium-low heat until the cream cheese is melted and mixture is hot, stirring repeatedly.
  3. Meanwhile cut the tops of the baguettes, using a serrated knife, hollowing out the inside, leaving the sides of the bread intact, like a canoe. Discard the tops of the bread. You may need to halve your bread to fit on your baking sheet, depending on the size of your loaves, this is ok.
  4. Once the chicken mixture is warm, add in all the blue cheese and 1 cup of the grated cheese, stirring to combine. Cook for an extra 2 minutes and then remove from the heat.
  5. Using a spoon fill the hollowed out bread with the chicken mixture. Top with the remaining cup of cheese and place under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the bread is lightly toasted.
  6. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, more blue cheese crumbles and drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.
  7. Slice into pieces and serve warm.
