Chicken Alfredo French Bread Pizza

The name may be complicated to say but the recipe is anything but complicated. It's one of our go to recipes on those days that we're just too tired to cook. Oh and you know what else! It's so super cheap to make. EVEN BETTER HUH?! We've tried a few different types of french bread pizza's, adding different toppings, but I think this one is my favorite.

It feeds 2-4 people. Mr. C and I usually eat half and then eat the leftovers the next day. It's just as good.

So lets get started. Here is what you'll need-
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 1 loaf of french bread
  • mozzarella cheese
  • alfredo sauce 
  • italian seasoning- OPTIONAL
  • garlic powder- OPTIONAL
  • onion powder- OPTIONAL
  • olive oil

 Here's a tip! At our grocery store by the bakery they have a french loaf of bread that is already sliced up. Holy hell. It can't get much easier than that. Half that work is done for you!



I like to start off with adding a little dash of olive oil to the skillet then heating up to a medium temperature. While that is heating I season the chicken breast. I used Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, and Onion Powder but it really is up to you and your preference. 



Cook the chicken thoroughly! I always check to make sure its done by cutting the chicken in half. While you're waiting for that to cook go ahead and pre heat the oven on 350 and if time permits, cut the loaf of bread. Cut it down the middle LONG ways, that that the inner, soft, yummolicious bread is exposed. Then cut it into smaller pieces. I like to cut ours into 8 pieces. that way they're easier to handle when you're eating.



Once the chicken is done lay it on a cutting board to cool. While you're waiting spoon some alfredo onto each piece of bread slice. For my 8 pieces I do roughly a tbps per piece. This is also your own preference.



 Afterwards cut the chicken up into small chunks. I like to call the chunks- Nina Size. Well because Mr. C's size is a heck of a lot bigger than mine. 

Place the chicken chunks onto each slice of bread.


Now add some mozzarella cheese! 

Place in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melts.



Don't judge my fancy 'fine china' dinner plate. The less dishes I have to do, the happier I am. :)




ENJOY!!
