• Use your hands to gently pull each cut side apart and sprinkle half of the ranch powder inside. Place pieces of chicken, bacon and slices of cheese randomly between pieces of the cut bread, making sure to tuck them down slightly. Sprinkle the remaining ranch dressing on top.
• Pour the melted butter all through the cut pieces of bread, making sure to cover all of the bread. Sprinkle the green onions on top.
• Wrap the bread in the foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for 8-10 minutes longer, until cheese is melted and bread is toasty. Serve immediately.
