Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 loaf french bread
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice the french bread lengthwise into two equal halves.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, cream cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and fully integrated.
  4. Fold chopped parsley and dried oregano into the butter mixture, ensuring even distribution of herbs.
  5. Generously spread the herbed butter mixture across both bread halves, covering the entire surface.
  6. Layer shredded chicken evenly over the buttered bread.
  7. Liberally sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken, then add an even coating of grated parmesan cheese.
  8. Transfer the prepared bread to the baking sheet, positioning it with the cheese facing upward.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese melts completely and the edges turn golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly.
  11. Slice into diagonal portions. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

Ingredient Swap: I often use leftover rotisserie chicken for this, it shreds so easily and saves me a ton of time on busy weeknights.
Just make sure it's fully cooked
