Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) loaf French bread
- 1/4 cup butter (a half stick) softened
- 1 cup BBQ sauce use your favorite
- 2 cups cooked chicken I used rotisserie
- 1/2 cup red onion chopped
- 1 Jalapeno pepper sliced (optional)
- 2 cups mozzarella shredded
- 1 cup smoked gouda shredded, see note
- 1 handful cilantro chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the top third of the oven.
- Cut the bread in half horizontally (try to do this as evenly as possible), add it to a baking sheet, and spread the butter evenly over the cut side of each half.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes (this crisps it up a bit so it's less likely to go soggy after adding the toppings), then take it out of the oven.
- Spread each half with the BBQ sauce, and then top with the chicken, red onions, jalapeno slices, and then the cheeses. I prefer to add the cilantro on after the pizza is cooked, but you can add it during this step before the cheeses if you prefer.
- Bake for 12 minutes and then broil for a few minutes until hot and bubbly (watch it carefully so it doesn't burn).
- Sprinkle the cilantro over top, slice into desired size pieces, and enjoy!

Notes
- If you can't find smoked gouda, try smoked cheddar, regular cheddar, or just use more mozzarella. The smoked gouda adds another layer of flavor, so I highly recommend using it.
- This pizza is very flexible... feel free to adjust the topping quantities as needed or sub with something else.
- Serving size really depends how much people eat/what else it's served with.
