Quick and Easy Pizza

We LOVE making french bread pizza because it is SO fast to throw together, and it’s not complicated at all. No dough needs to rise, no dealing with yeast – just dinner on the table in under 20 minutes.

You only need a few ingredients to make this chicken cordon bleu version:

• Alfredo sauce (if you want a homemade version, try this recipe)
• Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Shredded Swiss Cheese (for a more “cordon bleu” flavor)
• Cooked Chicken (we used pre-cooked chicken strips, but you could also use rotisserie chicken or chicken leftovers)
• Diced Ham (this is also a good use for ham leftovers)
• Bacon Bits (you can use the store bought pre-made kind, or crumble your own bacon pieces)
• Green onions (these are totally optional and we usually leave them off the kids’ half of the pizza)
• French Bread

You can always use store bought french bread (which is what we usually go with!), but this pizza tastes even better with homemade french bread. Our homemade french bread recipe is SO EASY and it makes two loaves (so you can freeze one for later).

It makes a great meal to double and take to a neighbor or friend who needs it, too. Camille brought me this french bread pizza after I had my son and it was one of my favorite things!

How to make french bread pizza not soggy

Feel like every time you make french bread pizza it turns out soggy? Try adding a layer of toppings BEFOREyou add your sauce.

In this case, we’d recommend adding the shredded Swiss cheese first, then topping it with Alfredo sauce, and then adding the remaining ingredients on top. It creates a little barrier to help the bread from getting so “soggy.”

What to serve with French bread pizza:

Don’t know what side dishes pair well with pizza? Try these:

• A big fruit salad (we like our creamy yogurt fruit salador our fresh fruit salad with citrus glaze)
• Green salad (try a classic like our Homemade Caesar Salad)
• Oven Roasted Green Beans
• Broccoli Salad
• Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1 loaf french bread
• 1 (16 ounce) jar Alfredo sauce (or homemade Alfredo sauce)
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
• 4 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
• 2 cups cooked breaded chicken (diced)
• ½ cup cooked ham (diced)
• ¼ cup bacon bits
• 4 green onions (thinly sliced)

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

• Cut loaf of French bread lengthwise and place on a large baking sheet (I just used a cookie sheet). Spread alfredo sauce evenly over bread (as much or as little as you like). Sprinkle garlic salt and Italian seasoning on top of sauce.

• Top with mozzarella cheese, swiss cheese, cooked chicken pieces, ham, bacon bits and green onions.

• Cook for about 10 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt.

• Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

To make sure the bread doesn’t get soggy we’d recommend adding the shredded Swiss cheese first, then topping it with Alfredo sauce, and then adding the remaining ingredients on top. It creates a little barrier to help the bread from getting so “soggy.”
