This stuffed cheesy bread is loaded with cream cheese, chicken and green chiles! The hot, crispy crust, the melted cheese pull, and the hearty filling of savory rotisserie chicken and chiles make this one of those warm, welcoming eats that you just can’t put down. It’s perfect game day or party food and really shows out when paired with soup or salad!
What You Need To Make Green Chile Chicken Stuffed Bread
- large loaf of French bread
- rotisserie chicken
- diced green chiles
- cream cheese
- shredded Colby Jack cheese
- yellow onion
- chicken broth
- salt, pepper, garlic
This is one of those easy dishes that no one can seem to get enough of. The warm cream cheese chicken filling seems to lie somewhere between a hot dip and a spread. And the warm, crusty outside and soft, tender insides of the French bread play the perfect supporting role for both! Plus, using rotisserie chicken is like some kind of genius magic that makes prep quick and clean up a breeze. Forget multiple pots and pans when you’re throwing this together!
I made this the other night for The Engineer. He had carefully planned his day so that he would have his to-do list tidily wrapped up and be ready for kick off of the Cowboy game. His Dallas Cowboys. He’s faithfully watched and rooted since he was 5 and Roger Staubach was leading them across the goal line. We’ve lived through it all- Tommy Landry, Jimmy Johnson, Barry Switzer, Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Deon, Romo. Lord have mercy.
You never know what you might get, so I was going to make sure at least dinner good. We had it with simple Southwestern Chopped Salad. One bite of that warm bread, stuffed with all that goodness, and he was hooked. Who cares what happened with the game (I’m sure he did), the food was a winner!
I made two loaves of this Stuffed Green Chile Chicken bread thinking I might give one a way. But The Engineer devoured all of the first and declared that he wanted to have the second for supper the next day. Which we did. It’s already been requested to make a third appearance, and I’m sure I will oblige. After all, isn’t that what good food is all about?

Ummm am I nuts or is the actual recipe missing??
Hi, Kris!
The printable recipe card is under the 4th photograph!
This green chili chicken stuffed bread recipe looks very tempting. Question: did you slice off the top of the bread, remove some of the innards, and stuff the bread shell? Or did you cut off the end(s) and use a bread knife to hollow out the inside?
Hi, Sharon! I cut out the center and hollowed out a little boat. The second photo in the post shows exactly how the bread boat was created. Enjoy!
Made this last night to go with some Dirty Rice— wonderful! I live in SW Colorado and love anything with green chile., This will move to the top of my list. Didn’t make this with chicken, but I will be trying that next. Used your Dirty Rice recipe, too, which was also a winner.
