Chicken stuffed bread

Long long time ago I made stromboli...at that time I was a novice at baking and I felt it was very difficult to knead the dough and all. But now I have become a pro - baking things for kids lunches every single week.

So, today I made buffalo chicken stuffed garlic bread and man its delicious. And I made green and orange confetti soup to go with it. The combination was sooo filling and great on a cold night. SO here you go

Spread half of the chicken, top with it 1/2 cup mexican 3 cheese blend, roll the edges 1/2 inch and the roll it the longer side. Put it on a prepared baked sheet seam side down. Poke the bread a few times.
