Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter Mixture
- 1 loaf of French bread or Italian bread, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Toppings
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
- 1 cup Alfredo sauce
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bread halves cut-side up on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil evenly to prepare the base for the pizza.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. This infuses the butter with a rich garlic flavor.
- Apply Garlic Butter: Spoon the garlic butter evenly over the bread halves, ensuring each piece is well coated for maximum flavor.
- Add Alfredo Sauce and Chicken: Spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over each bread half, then evenly distribute the shredded or cubed cooked chicken on top.
- Top with Cheeses and Seasoning: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, followed by grated Parmesan cheese. Season with Italian seasoning and, if desired, red pepper flakes for a slight kick.
- Bake: Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and golden brown, and the bread edges are crisp.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh finish, slice into portions, and serve warm.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient option.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to boost flavor and nutrition.
- For a crispier bread base, lightly toast the bread before assembling the pizza.
