2 cups cooked, breaded chicken cutlet, chopped Store-bought frozen cutlets can be used for convenience.
1.5 cups marinara sauce Choose your favorite marinara brand or homemade.
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese You can substitute with provolone or dairy-free cheese.
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted Can substitute with olive oil for a lighter option.
3 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic for the best flavor.

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Slice the loaf of French bread in half lengthwise and scoop out some of the soft interior from both halves.
In a bowl, whisk the melted butter and minced garlic together and brush it over the cut sides of the bread.
Layer the chopped breaded chicken into the hollowed-out bread halves.
Top with marinara sauce and sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

Baking

Place the stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
