Cheesy Garlic Chicken Loaf!

One of the best party loafs every seriously a keeper!

Right off the bat i am going to admit this is not my own recipe I had originally found it on Pinterest as a cheesy Mushroom loaf but as many might know I don't like mushrooms (My father loves them) so I tweaked it to suite my pallet better.

So this is my Cheesy Garlic Chicken Loaf!

Ingredients (serves 4-6: but in my fathers case serves 1 maybe 2)

Filling

• 2 tbsp Diced Garlic
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 cup Diced Chicken

For the Bread

• 1 unsliced loaf sourdough bread
• 8 ounces Colby Jack Cheese
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1/2 cup finely diced green onion
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Basil
• 1 tsp Parsley

Instructions

For the Filling

Heat a medium skillet on medium. Add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cooked diced chicken and Garlic. Saute for 1 minute until chicken is coated.Set aside.

For the Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cut the bread lengthwise and width wise without cutting through the bottom crust.Place loaf on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Pour the chicken between the cuts and stuff it with the Colby Jack Cheese. If you want it to be extra cheesy place the cheese first them the chicken and a second layer of cheese. Use your fingers to push the chicken down into the loaf. Melt 1 tsp of butter in a small sauce pan and drizzle it over the top of the loaf. Garnish with Paprika, Parsley and Basil and cover with an Aluminum fail hood.

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Unwrap the bread and bake 5 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

I would normally have a picture of the final product but it didn't last long at all for a picture :)
