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
- ⅓ 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
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.
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.
