Pizza. It’s one of those people pleasing meals. It is something that is safe to serve because it is so well loved. We have pizza at least once a week for dinner at our house and this bbq chicken french bread pizza is one of the ways we enjoy it.
French bread pizza has always been a nice quick option. Instant pizza crust can speed the meal preparation process along. Pizza is also quick because with most of the toppings, cutting is the only preparation needed.
Rotisserie chicken is your friend for this bbq chicken french pizza recipe. No need to cook chicken if you grab one of those. This pizza recipe can be ready to eat in 20 minutes if your chicken is already cooked.
I love the flavor combination with bbq chicken pizza and yet, it is so simple. we are talking bbq sauce, chicken, cheese, and red onion. I also enjoy the addition of cilantro, but if cilantro ain’t your thing you can forget it.
Now this is made on french bread. You can but one big loaf and cut it into pieces to serve. However, I purchased french bread sandwich rolls to make this. Then you end up with 8 individual mini bread pizzas.
