Cut loaf of French bread in half lengthwise. Hollow out the inside of bread halves, leaving a shell about 1/2-inch thick. Save soft inside bread for another use such as stuffing or croutons.
In a large bowl, mix the shredded chicken, bacon, ranch dressing, 1 1/2 cups cheese, green onions, tomatoes & parsley.
Spoon the chicken mixture into the hollowed out bread halves. Top with remaining cheese. Butter the cut edges of each bread half to keep them from drying out while in the oven.
Place stuffed bread halves on a baking sheet & bake for about 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted & bubbly. Remove from oven & allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing & serving.
