Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 slices garlic Texas Toast
- ½ cup pizza sauce (more for serving)
- 6 cooked chicken strips (or chicken nuggets)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the pizzas.
- Prepare Garlic Bread: Arrange the garlic Texas Toast slices butter side up on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Initial Bake: Bake the frozen garlic bread for about 3-4 minutes until the bread is no longer frozen and just starting to brown around the edges.
- Dice Chicken: While the bread is baking, dice the cooked chicken strips into ½-inch pieces to evenly distribute over the pizzas.
- Add Sauce and Chicken: Remove the garlic bread from the oven and spread about ½ cup of pizza sauce evenly over each slice. Then, layer the diced chicken on top of the sauce.
- Warm Chicken: Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 6-8 minutes to thoroughly warm the chicken pieces.
- Add Cheese: Take the baking sheet out again and evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over each pizza slice.
- Final Bake: Bake for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm, optionally with extra pizza sauce for dipping and a side salad for a complete meal.
Notes
- Any pre-cooked chicken works well including grilled chicken, rotisserie chicken, or chicken nuggets.
- Marinara sauce can be substituted for pizza sauce if preferred; consider adding extra for dipping.
- Serving suggestion: Pair with a prepackaged Caesar salad kit for an easy and complementary side dish.
