Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread
- Prep Time

- 25 min
- Servings
- 8–10
Ingredients
- 1 round sourdough loaf (about 1 1/2 lb)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo hot sauce
- 4 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, sliced
Instructions
- 1.
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Using a serrated knife, cut the bread in a 1-inch grid, slicing down to—but not through—the bottom crust.
- 2.
Toss chicken with hot sauce. Stir garlic powder into melted butter.
- 3.
Set the loaf on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Gently pry open the cuts and stuff with chicken and mozzarella. Brush butter over the top and into the cracks.
- 4.
Wrap loosely in foil and bake 15 minutes. Unwrap and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 10 minutes more.
- 5.
Drizzle with ranch and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.
Make It Special!
- Serve with celery sticks and extra dressing on the side.
- Travel tip: wrap in foil and a towel; it stays warm for about 30 minutes.
- Make ahead: stuff the loaf a few hours early and refrigerate until baking.
