Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the top third of the baguette off lengthwise to create a lid. Hollow out the bottom portion, leaving ½-inch thick walls and base. Reserve the removed bread for dipping.
    Step 2: In a large bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sour cream, buffalo sauce, ranch dressing, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Stir in shredded chicken, ¾ cup cheddar, ¾ cup mozzarella, and half the bacon.
    Step 3: Mix melted butter with ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Brush the inside and outside of the hollowed baguette and the lid. Spoon the buffalo chicken filling into the bread boat and pack it gently, mounding slightly.
    Step 4: Top with remaining cheddar, remaining mozzarella, and the rest of the bacon. Place the filled baguette, the lid, and the torn bread pieces on the baking sheet.
    Step 5: Bake for 18–22 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden and the bread is crisp. Rest 5 minutes, garnish with green onions and parsley, then slice into thick pieces and serve with toasted bread chunks.
