Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf of French bread
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Slice the French bread lengthwise in half, creating two long bread halves. Place the bread cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
- Spread the buffalo sauce-coated chicken evenly across both halves of the bread, making sure to distribute it from edge to edge.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, covering the entire surface of each bread half.
- Crumble blue cheese over the mozzarella, adding an extra layer of tangy flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and starts to turn golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
- Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top of the cheesy bread for fresh flavor and color.
- Slice into portions and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a quicker preparation and extra flavor.
- For maximum crispiness, toast the bread slightly before adding toppings.
- Adjust buffalo sauce quantity to control spice level—add more for heat lovers, less for mild preferences.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes after baking to help the cheese set and prevent burning your mouth.
- For a gourmet touch, try using different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and melted cheese experience.
- Pair with a cool ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping to balance the spicy buffalo sauce.
