Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 French bread loaf
- 6 pieces Frozen chicken fingers
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the frozen chicken fingers according to the package instructions, usually about 18-20 minutes, until golden and crispy. Allow the chicken fingers to cool slightly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
While the chicken fingers are baking, slice the French bread loaf lengthwise into two halves and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet.
Drizzle the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and place the baking sheet in the oven for about 5 minutes to lightly toast the bread. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Spread an even layer of marinara sauce across each half of the French bread.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the marinara sauce, dividing it between both halves of the bread.
Arrange the chicken finger pieces on top of the cheese layer, distributing them evenly.
If desired, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the chicken fingers and cheese for an extra flavor boost.
Return the French bread pizzas to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the pizzas cool for a minute or two. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
Slice each French bread half into individual portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Chicken Finger French Bread Pizza!
