I am looking for a recipe that was prepared at a show. I was told they used a baguette cut up and topped the pieces w/a mixture that incuded chunky chicken w/one of our seasonings (the lady thinks it could have be garlic). I have contacted several other consultants w/no luck, so here is hoping someone can help me. Thank you!!

:(oh darn, & I'm staying up late hoping to find the answer to this!
 
Could it be this?

Bistro Chicken Twist


1 cup chopped cooked chicken
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/4 cup snipped fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) grated fresh
Parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, pressed
2 (11 ounce) packages refrigerated French bread dough
1 egg white, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon dry Italian seasoning mix

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Chop chicken. Dice bell pepper. Snip basil with kitchen shears.

In a bowl combine the chicken, bell pepper, basil, Parmesan, mozzarella, mayonnaise and garlic.

Place bread dough, seam sides up, on cutting board. Using a serrated bread knife, slice each loaf lengthwise, end to end, cutting halfway through to center of loaf; spread open flat. Lightly sprinkle flour evenly over dough. With rolling pin roll dough crosswise a four-inch width, creating a well down the center of each loaf.

Spoon half of the chicken mixture down center of each loaf. Gather up edges over filling, pinching firmly to seal. Place loaves, seam sides down, in an 'X' pattern on a baking stone. Crisscross ends of dough to form a large figure 8, keeping ends of dough one inch from edge of stone and leaving two 1 1/2-inch openings in center of twist.

In a small bowl, combine egg white and seasoning mix; lightly brush over dough. Cut a three-inch slit in each of the top sections of the twist to reveal filling. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over loaf.

Bake 30-32 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes.

Serves eight.

It might be on CC, in the recipe search. I don't remember specific names, but appetizery things with meat on bread/toast were pretty common in the cookbooks several years ago.
 
I just took a look using the recipe search on CC - check out the Tex Mex Chicken Melts from the All the Best book.

Would our rub be the replacement for the seasoning??
 
Yes- a tablespoon should be enough. Our spice is strong.

ooo...thanks so much!
 
When do you go back to school Robyn? I'm a fourth grade teacher. I go back Sep. 3 with kids starting on Sep.8. This is my first time in 16 years, that Labor Day is so late and I'm not beginning in August. Thank goodness since we had to makeup 1 full week for snow days and I worked until June 19.

I have 2 work days next Thurs & Fri. and then also on Mon. & Tues. Students return that Wed. Big changes this year...going to teams @ jr. hi. so I've lost some classes and now students only have art for a 9 weeks. How sad......we are test driven....
 
How sad......we are test driven....[/QUOTE]

So true! The number that meet are so more important to the districts than the fact that students improved. Last year, students who almost exceeded, were forced to take the test again to exceed. If they did not make it, they took the test a third time. x2 and x3 were only two weeks apart. Rediculous. As a parent, if my child has met and was only a few points away from exceeding, then great. I don't a number to prove that and I certainly don't want my child being pulled from class to do this.

How can I store leftover baguette?

To store leftover baguette, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it from drying out. You can also place it in a paper bag to maintain its crustiness.
