Hot Hoagies

Happy Wednesday my friends!  If you are on the Siggy Spice Face Book page, you will remember last week I told you about an amazing new recipe we tried and LOVED.  I promised that would be the next recipe posted.  But then I made the homemade pancake syrup and in my giddiness (not to mention lack of sleep from a giggly, girlie slumber party the night before) I totally forgot about that promise.  Sorry! 
When I lived in Colorado, we had a King Soopers right down the road from our house.  Everyday at 4:00 pm, 5:00 pm, and 6:00 pm they would bake fresh french bread.  No matter what we were having for dinner that night, if I had to run to King Soopers for something, french bread would appear on the table with it.  The smell was INTOXICATING!  Yummy, crispy, chewy french bread is the perfect base for this cheesy, chicken salad like topping that gets gooey and fabulous when baked.  This yumilicious, super simple grub is a wonderful summer meal.  We rounded out the meal with a salad and a plate of fresh fruit...absolute perfection!

Ingredients:

• 1 loaf french bread, cut lengthwise
• 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (take some help from the store and get a store bought rotisserie chicken.  You will use about 1/2 the meat to equal 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup mayo (you can use light)
• 1/2 cup  sour cream (you can use light)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/3 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 cups shredded cheese (I used medium cheddar)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place french bread on large baking sheet. Mix all topping ingredients together in a bowl. Spread topping evenly on top of both lengths of french bread. Bake for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and edges are lightly browned. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
