Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Slice the French bread lengthwise in half, creating two long pizza bases. Place the bread cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated and well-mixed.
- Spread the buffalo-coated chicken evenly across both halves of the French bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the chicken, covering the entire surface.
- Crumble blue cheese over the top of the mozzarella, distributing it evenly across both bread halves.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the bread edges are golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for added freshness and flavor.
- Slice each bread half into 2-3 pieces and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips
- • For the most tender and flavorful chicken, use rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken instead of plain boiled chicken. • Adjust the buffalo sauce quantity to control the heat level – add more for extra spiciness or less for a milder flavor. • Make sure to use a sturdy French bread that can hold up to the toppings without getting soggy. • For extra crispy edges, brush the bread with a little olive oil before adding toppings. • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth. • Serve with additional buffalo sauce or ranch dressing on the side for dipping. • This recipe is easily customizable – try adding bacon bits, jalapeños, or switching up the cheese types for variety.
