Ingredients
French Bread:
1 Loaf
Cooked & Sliced Chicken Breasts:
2 Cups
Fresh Spinach:
1/2 Cup
Purple Onion:
1/2 Cup
Alfredo Pasta Sauce:
1 Jar (about 15 oz.)
Mozzarella Cheese or Italian Blend Cheese:
1 16 oz. Package
Fresh Black Pepper:
To taste
Instructions
- Slice French Bread: Cut the loaf in half lengthwise to create two open-faced halves, providing a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Spread Alfredo Sauce: Evenly spread a generous layer of Alfredo sauce over the cut sides of the French bread halves, ensuring coverage to the edges.
- Add Toppings: Layer the fresh spinach leaves, sliced purple onion, and sliced cooked chicken breasts evenly over the sauced bread halves.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella or Italian cheese evenly over the toppings, covering all ingredients for a cheesy finish.
- Season: Lightly season with freshly ground black pepper to taste, enhancing the flavor profile.
- Bake: Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden, crispy cheese topping, broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Notes
- Feel free to add other toppings like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers for variety.
- Using toasted French bread adds extra crispiness to the base.
- Ensure the chicken is cooked and sliced thin for easy layering.
