Scale
Base
- 1 Loaf French Bread
Toppings
- 2 cups Cooked &; Sliced Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup Fresh Spinach
- 1/2 cup Purple Onion, sliced
Sauce & Cheese
- 1 Jar Alfredo Pasta Sauce (approximately 15 oz)
- 1 16 oz. Package Mozzarella Cheese or Italian Blend Cheese
Seasoning
- Fresh Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice French Bread: Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create a flat surface for your pizza toppings.
- Spread Alfredo Sauce: Evenly spread the Alfredo sauce over the cut sides of the French bread, ensuring a generous layer that will infuse flavor into each bite.
- Add Toppings: Layer the fresh spinach, sliced purple onion, and cooked chicken breasts evenly over the Alfredo sauce to distribute flavor and texture throughout the pizza.
- Top with Cheese: Generously sprinkle the mozzarella cheese or Italian blend cheese on top of the layered ingredients to create a gooey, melty topping once baked.
- Season: Optionally, sprinkle fresh ground black pepper over the assembled pizza to add a touch of freshly cracked spice.
- Bake: Place the prepared French bread pizza on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Broil for Crispiness: For a golden, crispy cheese topping, switch the oven to broil and broil the pizza for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time; rotisserie chicken works great.
- Feel free to substitute fresh baby spinach with kale or arugula.
- Broiling time is short, so keep a close eye on the pizza to prevent burning.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh from the oven for optimal texture and flavor.
- You can add red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
