- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, mozzarella, cheddar, and green onions. For quick, even chicken prep, use the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist.
- Season the filling with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Fill the hollowed bread shell with the chicken bacon ranch mixture, pressing down gently as you go to ensure even distribution. Place filled bread onto the prepared baking sheet.
