# What You'll Need:

# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Set the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Cut the sourdough loaf in a crosshatch pattern using a serrated knife, making 1-inch cubes without cutting through the bottom.
03 - Combine shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, mayonnaise, minced garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika in a bowl.
04 - Gently pull apart the bread cubes and fill the gaps evenly with the chicken-cheese mixture.
05 - Drizzle melted butter over the stuffed bread, letting it seep into crevices, then sprinkle grated Parmesan and chives on top.
06 - Place the loaf on the prepared sheet, cover loosely with foil, and bake for 15 minutes.
07 - Remove the foil and continue baking for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese bubbles and browns.
08 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm; pull apart pieces to enjoy.
