🍗 Enjoy a quick and flavorful BBQ Chicken French Bread Pizza that’s perfect for busy weeknights.
🍞 This recipe combines the smoky taste of BBQ chicken with the cheesy goodness of fresh mozzarella and cheddar on a soft French bread base.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

– 1 loaf French bread (fresh baked, slightly soft when squeezed)

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite-sized pieces

– 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (or favorite all-purpose seasoning)

– Fresh ground pepper, to taste

– ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce, divided

– ½ cup marinara sauce

– ½ cup thinly sliced red onion

– 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, shredded

– ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro, or to taste

Instructions

1- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.

2- Coat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; heat over medium-high heat. Sauté the 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small bite-sized pieces, until nearly cooked through with no pink remaining, seasoning with 1 teaspoon seasoned salt and fresh ground pepper to taste while cooking.

3- Add 3 tablespoons BBQ sauce to the chicken. Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 3-4 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

4- In a small bowl, combine the remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce with the ½ cup marinara sauce.

5- Cut the 1 loaf French bread in half lengthwise and place halves on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the sauce mixture evenly onto each bread half.

6- Divide the cooked chicken evenly over the sauced bread halves.

7- Add ½ cup thinly sliced red onion over the chicken.

8- Sprinkle 8 ounces shredded fresh mozzarella cheese and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.

9- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

10- Remove from oven, sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro on top. Let sit for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
