Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread is a delicious, savory dish that combines tender chicken, crispy bacon, and the rich flavors of ranch seasoning, all stuffed into a warm, soft bread. It’s the perfect comfort food for any occasion! Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 6 slices of bacon
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough or bread dough
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the dough)
- Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken and Bacon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the pan, crumble, and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. In the same skillet, cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then dice it into small bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface, stretching it into a large rectangle or square, depending on your bread size. Make sure it is about 1/4 inch thick.
- Assemble the Stuffed Bread:
- In a bowl, mix the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and ranch dressing. Stir well until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken and bacon mixture down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch on all sides.
- Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then roll it up, pinching the edges together to seal.
- Bake the Bread:
- Place the stuffed bread seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
- Brush the top of the dough with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Remove the stuffed bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice it into rounds and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
Enjoy your Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread! It’s perfect for a family dinner, party appetizer, or just a delicious treat to enjoy anytime.
