Make this viral-worthy Pesto Chicken Stuffed Garlic Bread for an indulgent, cheesy snack. We fixed the flawed versions out there to bring you a foolproof recipe bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf French or Italian bread
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup prepared pesto
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pesto, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and softened cream cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Slice the loaf of bread lengthwise, creating two halves. Do not cut all the way through; keep the bottom hinge intact.
  4. Spread the chicken and cheese mixture evenly over the cut surface of both bread halves.
  5. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this garlic butter generously over the top crust edges of the bread.
  6. Wrap the entire loaf tightly in aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes wrapped in foil.
  8. Unwrap the bread and bake for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden brown.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing and serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality pesto for the best flavor.
  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and shredded before mixing.
  • If your bread is very soft, you can lightly toast the inside halves for 3 minutes before adding the filling.
