Ingredients

  • 1 loaf Italian bread

Butter Mixture

  • ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted, or more depending on loaf size
  • 2 teaspoons fresh parsley, chopped

Topping

  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
  • cup (91 g) buffalo sauce
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk (optional, I just prefer a loose consistency)
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 ½ cups (169.5 g) sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise into two halves. Place both halves of the bread onto the lined baking sheet, cut-side up.

Butter Mixture

  • In a small bowl combine the melted butter and parsley.
  • Brush the cut sides of the bread with the butter and parsley mixture.

Topping

  • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until creamy. Add buffalo sauce and milk.
  • To the cream cheese mixture, add the chicken and mozzarella cheese. Stir until combined.
  • Spoon half of the cream cheese mixture over each half of the buttered Italian bread.
  • Top each with ¾ cup of cheddar cheese.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown. (Optional: Place the bread in the oven's broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, keeping a close eye on it to prevent burning. This will give the bread a nicely browned, crispy finish.)
  • Cut buffalo chicken Italian bread into pieces. Serve garnished with parsley.
