This is a definite go-to shortcut meal in my house. It takes minutes to prep, cook, and get on the table. The whole family loves this one and I probably make it more often than I should admit.
French Bread Pesto Pizza with Chicken & Tomatoes
Ingredients
- 2 loaves gluten-free French bread or baguettes, , thawed (I used Udi’s French Baguettes)
- ½ cup prepared basil pesto*
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, , halved
- 1 cup pre-cooked chicken breast*, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese*
- Parmesan cheese shavings, , for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F.
- Cut bread in half lengthwise. Place halved baguettes cut-side up on a baking sheet. Spread pesto on each piece of bread. Top with half the tomatoes and half the chicken. Sprinkle evenly with the mozzarella. Top with the remaining tomatoes and chicken.
- Bake until the bread is heated through and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Top with Parmesan shavings, if desired. Cut each half into 2 pieces for serving.
