Chicken Parmesan Dip Stuffed French Bread

I kinda have a thing for dips.
Chicken Parm DipIf you don’t already know that go here, here, here and here. Take your time.

This is not only an appetizer, it could definitely be dinner. I took leftover chicken parmesan, chopped the hell out of it, added more tomato sauce and poured it into a hollowed out French bread loaf.

THEN, I cubed the bread that was scooped out and made big fat croutons that were worthy of being vehicles for the aforementioned dip. It was meant to happen; no one would finish off all of that chicken parm. I had to turn it into something else.

You could use pita chips or crackers, or whatever you have on hand…
