Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Bread:
Slice the loaf in half lengthwise, creating a top and bottom half. Hollow out the inside of both halves, leaving a bit of bread crust around the edges to hold the filling.
Mix Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, chopped chives, and shredded cheese.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mayo-ranch mixture over the chicken mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
Stuff the Loaf:
Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed-out bread halves, spreading it evenly.
Bake:
Place the stuffed loaf halves on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden and toasted.
Serve:
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Slice into individual servings and enjoy!
