Buffalo Chicken French Breads
 |
Ingredients :
1 loaf of french bread, cut in half
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Once cooked through, add garlic and stir for 30 seconds, then add in buffalo wing sauce and butter. Stir to toss and coat.
Brush 1 1/2 tablespoons (or more if desired) of ranch dressing onto each cut side of french bread.
