Cheesy Chicken & Ham Stuffed Bread

• total time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread or Italian bread

2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded

1 cup sliced ham

1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

2 tablespoons mayonnaise or cream cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Slice the bread loaf lengthwise and slightly hollow the center to make space for the filling.

In a bowl, mix the chicken with mayonnaise (or cream cheese), garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Layer the filling inside the bread: first chicken mixture, then ham slices, then mozzarella and cheddar cheese.

Close the bread and place it on the prepared baking pan. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle parsley.

Bake for 20–25 minutes until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let it cool slightly, slice, and serve warm.
