Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 Loaf French Bread
Toppings
- 2 Cups Cooked & Sliced Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 Cup Fresh Spinach
- 1/2 Cup Purple Onion, sliced
- 1 Jar Alfredo Pasta Sauce (approximately 15 oz)
- 1 16 oz. Package Mozzarella Cheese or Italian Blend Cheese
- Fresh Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice French Bread: Cut the French bread loaf in half lengthwise to create two flat surfaces that will serve as the pizza base.
- Spread Alfredo Sauce: Evenly spread the Alfredo pasta sauce over the cut sides of the French bread, making sure to cover the surface generously for full flavor.
- Add Toppings: Layer fresh spinach, sliced purple onion, and cooked chicken breasts evenly on top of the sauce for a balanced distribution of ingredients.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese or Italian blend cheese liberally over the layered toppings to ensure a gooey and melty cheese topping.
- Season: Optionally, add freshly ground black pepper over the assembled pizza to enhance the flavor with a mild spice.
- Bake: Place the assembled 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
- You can substitute cooked chicken breasts with rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give the pizza a spicy kick.
- Use Italian blend cheese if you want a more complex cheese flavor with Parmesan and Romano.
- Keep an eye on the pizza during broiling to prevent burning as it broils quickly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
