Hot Hoagies

Ok, another recipe from another one of my favorite recipe blogs.  You don't mind do you?  How would I describe this dish???? Warm, cheesy, crispy and just plain delicious!!   I put this on our menu plan when I first saw it over at Tasty Kitchen...but Melanie has her own recipe blog that I also love and you can find it there as well....  Anyway, here it is...the Hot Hoagie.

1 loaf french bread, cut lengthwise
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (in a pinch, you can use two large cans chicken breast)
1/2 cup light mayo
1/2 cup reduced fat sour cream
2 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 2 tablespoons dried)
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a combo of monterey jack and sharp cheddar cheese)
Olives, chopped (0ptional – I omit these due to my kids’ preferences)
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.
Can you say YUM?  First night we had it with some veggies and fruit salad...then the next night we ate the left overs with some bbq chicken salad.  The left overs were just as great!
