Ingredients
Bread
- 1 loaf French bread (12- to 14-oz.)
Chicken and Sauce
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (about 6 oz.)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425°. Slice loaf in half lengthwise. Depending on length of your loaf, you may need to cut crosswise into 4 pieces to fit on sheet. Arrange bread slices cut side up on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Toast bread until slightly dry to the touch and the edges start to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss chicken and ¼ cup BBQ sauce until coated. In another medium bowl, combine mozzarella and cheddar.
- Spread ¾ cup BBQ sauce on bread in an even layer, making sure to reach the edges. Top with about half of cheese mixture, then sprinkle with onion. Spread chicken mixture on bread, then top with remaining cheese mixture.
- Bake pizza until cheese is melted with golden brown spots on top, 12 to 15 minutes. Drizzle with more BBQ sauce and top with cilantro.
