Chicken Garlic Stuffed Bread

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French garlic bread
• 1 lb Lean ground chicken or beef (The source lists chicken/beef as alternatives.)
• 2 Tomatoes (Sliced)
• 0.5 cup Olives
• 2 tbsp Garlic (Minced)
• 1 Small onion (Chopped)
• 0.5 cup Spinach (Chopped)
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
• 2 cup Mozzarella cheese (Shredded)
• 0.333 cup Jalapeños (The source writes 1/3 cup; apostrophe spelling normalized.)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil (The source gives a range of 2–3 tbsp; drizzle over both sides of the bread.)

Steps

1. 1

   Slice the French garlic bread in half lengthwise. Scoop out the bread from the center and set the removed bread aside.

   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground chicken or beef and chopped onion, then brown the meat and onion together.

3. 3

   Season the meat mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for a few minutes, stirring as needed, until the meat is fully cooked.

5. 5

   Spread the marinara sauce over one side of the prepared bread.

6. 6

   Top the sauced bread with the sliced tomatoes, chopped spinach, cooked minced chicken or beef, olives, and jalapeños.

7. 7

   Add the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.

8. 8

   Drizzle olive oil over both sides of the bread and spread it evenly.

9. 9

   Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.

10. 10

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
