# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken Filling
01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
02 - 1 cup marinara sauce
03 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
05 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Garlic Bread Base
06 - 2 large baguettes or 4 small demi-baguettes
07 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
08 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Assembly
11 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
12 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
13 - Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)
# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken, marinara sauce, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
03 - In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt until fully combined into a smooth paste.
04 - Slice the baguettes in half lengthwise. Hollow out the center of each bread half to create a boat, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
05 - Spread the garlic butter mixture evenly inside each bread boat, coating the hollowed interior well.
06 - Fill each bread boat with the chicken marinara mixture, distributing evenly among all pieces.
07 - Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese over the filled bread boats.
08 - Place the stuffed bread on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
09 - Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired.
