CHICKEN AVOCADO STUFFED GARLIC BREAD

CHICKEN AVOCADO STUFFED GARLIC BREAD 1 French bread 4 oz. cream cheese-softened 3 tablespoons sour cream 1 ½ cups cooked chicken- chopped in small pieces 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 small avocado- diced 1 green onion-sliced Salt and pepper to taste 1/3 cup melted butter 2 teaspoons minced garlic (3 cloves) 2 tablespoons parsley-chopped 2 ½ tablespoons grated Parmesan Preheat the oven to 375 F. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil onto large baking sheet. In a medium bowl place softened cream cheese and sour cream, stir with a fork just to combine. Add chopped chicken, avocado, shredded cheese and sliced green onion. Stir until evenly combine. Slice the French bread into thirds and using a sharp knife shallow out each piece of bread. Stuff the inside of bread with chicken-avocado mixture. Press it as much as you can so the bread will be filled generously. But do this carefully or the bread might fall apart. Slice each piece of stuffed bread into 1 inch slices, then place them on a baking sheet lined with foil. Arrange them tightly side-by-side. In a small bowl stir together melted butter, grated Parmesan, minced garlic and chopped parsley. Brush the top and sides of bread. Drizzle remaining mixture on top. Wrap the foil over the French bread. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the bread starting to brown.
