How To Make Buffalo Chicken French Loaf

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350��F (175��C). While the oven is warming up, get your French loaf and slice it in half lengthwise. Scoop out some bread in the center to make room for our flavorful filling.
2. In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, Buffalo sauce, diced onions, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir well until everything is perfectly mixed.
3. Fill in the hollowed-out loaf with the filling and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Place both halves on a baking sheet and slide it into the hot oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until our cheese is perfectly melted and bubbly.
4. You’ll know it’s done when it’s sizzling and the cheese has achieved that attractive golden color. Take it out, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top, and allow it to cool a bit before slicing into your very own homemade Buffalo Chicken French Loaf!
