Cheesy Chicken And Vegetable Stuffed Baguette Recipes

CHICKEN PARMESAN-STUFFED GARLIC BREAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Slice the chicken breast into ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) thick strips.
• Place the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into 3 separate bowls.
• Roll a chicken strip in the flour, dusting off excess. Dip the strip into the egg, then place into the bread crumbs, coating it completely.
• Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
• Fry the breaded chicken strips until both sides are golden brown.
• Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
• Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of the fried chicken strips).
• Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
• Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1 inch (2 ½ cm) overlap. Place a chicken strip on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the chicken.
• Push the rolled chicken strips into a baguette piece.
• Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1 inch (2 ½ cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
• In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
• Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.
• Wrap the foil over the re-assembled baguette and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and the top is starting to brown.
• Remove the foil and serve with marinara!

CHEESY JALAPENO BACON STUFFED BAGUETTE WITH GARLIC BUTTER RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a pan over high heat. Add bacon and cook until lightly browned. Remove onto a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess fat. Set aside to cool. Cut the ends off the baguette and cut the baguette in half (or quarters - makes it easier to stuff). Use a long knife (preferably bread knife) to cut the bread out, leaving about a ½" wall of bread and crust. (Note 2) Place the bacon, cream cheese, cheddar and mozzarella cheese, jalapeños, scallions or shallots and pepper in a bowl and mix until combined. Use a knife or piping bag to stuff the mixture inside the baguettes. Make the Garlic Butter: melt butter with the garlic and salt in the microwave or on the stove. Brush the baguette with garlic butter (or you can do this after you slice it). Slice the baguette into ½" slices. Keep the slices pressed up against each other, and transfer to a large piece of foil. Wrap the baguette, then bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bread is crusty and the cheese inside is melted. For best experience, serve warm! NOTES 1. You can use Cheddar or any other cheese with flavor. 2. Keep the bread you remove to make breadcrumbs! Let it dry out on a plate, then crumble and store in an airtight container until required. 3. To make ahead: Assemble the baguette then wrap in foil then with cling wrap and place in the freezer until required. To reheat, defrost and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. I don't recommend baking from frozen because the crust will be a very dark brown before the center heats up enough for the cheese to melt. 4. Filling options: You just need 4 cups of any combination of fillings (cheese, pepperoni etc) mixed with 8 ounces of cream cheese in order to have enough filling for a 20-inch baguette. I think that 1 cup of cheddar or other flavor cheese combined with ½ cup of mozzarella is a good ratio of stretchy to flavored cheese, but you can mix it up as you want. The mozzarella is there for the "stretch". Other stuffing ideas: * Pizza: 1½ cups cheese, ½ cup shallots/scallions, 1½ cups pepperoni or salami and ½ cup diced red pepper / bell peppers. * Bacon Ranch: Same recipe as Jalapeño Bacon, but add dry ranch mix * Buffalo chicken: 1½ cups cheese (optional to use some blue cheese), 1½ cups chopped chicken, 1 cup scallions/shallots, ¼ cup hot sauce. * Italian: 1½ cups cheese, 2½ cups mixture of olives, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, salami * Cheesy corn: 1½ cups cheese, 2 cups corn, ½ cup cilantro/coriander/jalapenos * Spinach and artichoke - 1½ cups cheese, 1½ packet frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed of excess water, 1½ cups chopped artichokes PREP TIME 15 mins COOK TIME 20 mins TOTAL TIME 35 mins
