Ingredients
- Large French Crusty Loaf
- 4 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast
- 1/2 Teaspoon: salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, oregano, lemon pepper, each
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 1/2 Cup Buffalo Sauce + more to drizzle on top
- 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 2 Cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
Protein Ranch
- 1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons Dry Ranch Seasoning
- 2 Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Green Onions, to garnish
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried parsley, oregano and lemon pepper. Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of oil and add chicken to the pan once heated. Cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Preheat oven to 380 degrees F.
- Take the large french loaf and slice it width wise so you get a top and bottom piece. Slightly remove the inside bread and use your hand to flatten the inside creating a u0022boatu0022 or con-caved look on each slice of bread.
- Once the chicken is cooked, chop up the chicken into 1/4 inch pieces and add to a mixing bowl. Add buffalo sauce to the chicken and mix well.
- Add half of the chicken mixture to each slice of bread. Top each slice of bread with 1/2 of the cheese each. Brush melted butter along the edges/crust. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until you see the cheese is fully melted.
- While the chicken boat bakes, make the protein ranch. In a mixing bowl add greek yogurt, ranch seasoning, minced garlic and lemon juice and mix well.
- Once the chicken boat is cooked and slightly cooled, drizzle extra buffalo sauce on top (optional) and drizzle the protein ranch on top of each slice, or if you rather prefer to dip it on the side. Top the chicken boats with green onions, slice them up and enjoy!
