Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese Use full-fat for best flavor and creaminess.
  • 2 cups shredded chicken Rotisserie chicken is an ideal shortcut.
  • 5 oz buffalo sauce Choose your favorite brand.
  • 1.25 cups mozzarella cheese Freshly shredded melts wonderfully.
  • 1.25 cups cheddar cheese Sharp or mild based on preference.
  • 3 green onions Use the white parts in the filling.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder Fresh garlic can also work.
  • 1 baguette Fresh from the bakery is best.
  • 4 tbsp melted butter Unsalted preferred.
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning Enhances flavor beautifully.
  • parsley Fresh for garnish.
  • ranch dip Serve on the side.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Shred the chicken, slice the green onions (keeping the white parts), and measure out the buffalo sauce, cheeses, and garlic powder.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, mozzarella, cheddar, sliced green onion whites, and garlic powder. Gently fold to combine.
  4. Cut the baguette into four equal sections and hollow out each piece to create pockets for the filling.
  5. Generously stuff each baguette section with the buffalo mixture, pressing the bread back together gently.
  6. Cut each filled baguette into 1-2 inch thick pieces. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with ranch seasoning and brush it over the top of the slices.
  7. Wrap the baguette sections in foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes; then uncover the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and bubbly.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and reserved green onion tops before serving warm with ranch dip.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese and butter are at room temperature. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze unbaked stuffed baguettes for up to 2 months.
