2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup marinara sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Bread Bowls: Cut the tops off the bread loaves and hollow out the insides, leaving a thick wall to hold the filling.
Mix the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Fill the Bread Bowls: Spoon the chicken mixture into each hollowed bread loaf, filling them generously.
Add Cheese: Top each filled bread bowl with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake: Place the stuffed bread bowls on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil if desired, then serve warm.
