Remove top of bread and hollow out middle to create a rectangular bread bowl. Set aside. Whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise and hot sauce and all spices/seasonings until well combined. Stir in blue cheese, 3/4 cup cheddar and 3/4 cup mozzarella followed by chicken. Spoon Buffalo Chicken Dip into prepared French bread and top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake on a baking tray at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Let bread sit approximately 10 minutes to set and slightly cool then slice. Best served warm. |
