FAQ
Yes, you can definitely use store-bought garlic bread to save time. It works really well and still gives you great flavor. If you want a more homemade touch, you can use a plain baguette and add your own garlic butter.
A crusty baguette or Italian bread works best because it holds the filling well and stays crispy on the outside. Softer bread can become too soggy when filled.
Yes, you can prepare the chicken filling ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, fill the bread and bake it fresh so it stays crispy and cheesy.
Make sure the filling isn’t too watery and don’t overfill the bread. Baking it uncovered also helps keep the top crispy.
You can freeze it before baking. Wrap it tightly and store for up to 2 months. When ready to cook, bake straight from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.
Use mozzarella for the best melt and don’t overbake it. Bake just until the cheese is melted and stretchy.
