Garlic Bread Chicken Parmesan Pizzas
Garlic Bread Chicken Parmesan Pizzas are individual pizzas made with frozen garlic bread, pizza sauce, chicken strips and shredded cheese. Easy and delicious!
A FUN, SIMPLE WEEKNIGHT MEAL!
Around my house we have meals that we call the Working Mom’s Specials. These meals, like these Garlic Bread Chicken Parmesan Pizzas, are our easy to make meals where we don’t have the time (or energy) to be fussing with a lot of ingredients or making a bunch of dirty dishes to be washed. Plus, these taste really, really good!
Made this tonight for dinner and it was a hit with the family–they gobbled it up. I used chicken tenders chopped up and served it with a side of spaghetti. Kids told me that I can make it again!

TIPS FOR MAKING GARLIC BREAD CHICKEN PARMESAN PIZZAS:
- Any pre-cooked chicken will work for this: grilled, rotisserie or even chicken nuggets
- In addition, marinara sauce can be substituted for the pizza sauce. You might want a little extra for dipping!
- To serve: I just grabbed one of those prepackaged Caesar Salad Kits that are in the produce section to serve with this.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- Garlic Texas Toast
- pizza sauce
- precooked chicken nuggets or popcorn chicken
- shredded mozzarella cheese
HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BREAD CHICKEN PARMESAN PIZZAS:
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Arrange garlic bread (butter side up) on a baking sheet.
Bake frozen garlic toast for about 3-4 minutes until bread is no longer frozen and just starting to brown on the edges.
While, the bread is toasting, start dicing up the cooked chicken. Cut them up into 1/2-inch pieces. When bread is ready, spread sauce on each slice of garlic toast (or loaf, if using)
Then evenly layer diced chicken on top of sauce.
Bake for about 6-8 minutes just to get that chicken warmed back up. Then take out and top each slice with some shredded mozzarella.
And pop it back into the oven for another 3-4 minutes just until cheese is melted and bubbly.
And enjoy!

I have never been disappointed in any Southern Living recipe that I have made. That is the first thing I look at in the magazine.

Can't wait to try these individual garlic bread pizzas, sound delicious! If I had a cookbook I wouldn't have to include my laptop as the main ingredient in all your great recipes! 🙂 marchuns (at) aol (dot) com .
After cooking almost everyday of my married life, 30 hmmmm years I need fresh ideas. I'm tired of the same old menu's week after week, my family would sure appreciate something new and so would I!
Thanks for a great blog, I use many of your wonderful ideas!!
What a great giveaway ! I would love to change up the dinner menu a little! This cookbook seems like a good way to start!! Amanda durham_81@yahoo.com
I sooo need this cookbook and here is why; we can NEVER decide what to make for dinner in my home! I really need some fresh new ideas because at this point, my family is tired of the same ole' thing all the time. (I've even repeated most of your recipies!) It is so bad, my boyfriend of 7 years swears he is going to make a "Supper Wheel" so that he can just spin it, and whatever it lands on we eat!!!

I am new at this and love your site. I turn 73 tomorrow and not fond of the kitchen for very long. This chicken pizza would be good for the Grandchildren and yet quick so I will have more play time. I would really benefit from the cook book .Thank you for all you do.

Hi….It's Tiffany, from Georgia, I just started following your blog, love the food you make and how its simple yet easy for a busy single mom, who loves a home cooked meal. I could use your featured cookbook to help with meal prep for myself and my daughter, on those late work nights or when entertaining a house full of guests. BTW I made the Southern Pecan Praline Cake and it was AWESOME!!!!! Keep the recipes coming!!!!

This book would be wonderful to have to get new ideas for fast and simple meals!
And of course I pinned it, gotta remember this to try later!!

This cookbook would be so helpful because I have a 7 month old who does not like to be put down. Cooking dinner for our family of 5 on church or soccer nights would be so much simpler!
I love to try new recipes! It would be a fun book to have. I also pinned this to my Pinterest board.
Wow this would be most certainly a handy book to have. After awhile it gets so difficult to try and figure out something different to have for dinner. My family loves when I surprise them with something new to try. Hope I'm lucky. robeader53@yahoo.com.
I run out of things to make for dinner. When I ask my kids what they want, they can't decide. Maybe this book would help all of us and I wouldn't be wondering what to make.

Since I'm responsible for dinner at least 99% of the time, (cooking for a total of 5 people), this cookbook would be a Godsend! Dinner ideas are so hard to come up with, especially the quick and easy ones. Thanks for this opportunity! And I did repin this!

..I have 2 Daughter In Laws who were never taught to Cook anything other than to open a Box of Hamburger Helper…I learned how to Cook from Scratch by my Mom and Grandma,…Anyway;..Now they are starting Families and I think they owe to the Health of their Kids to be a Conscientous Cook…
Toddlers plus grad school… Thanks for doing a giveaway! 🙂
I have 2 young boys. One will eat almost anything and one is as picky as can be!! I work part time and pick them up from Grandma's house just before dinnertime. So that means dinnertime is always a rough time at our house. Anything that can make that a little easier would be most welcome.
After working all day, it would be nice to have a book to pick out a fast and easy recipe for supper!
Would love to win this book. I enjoy your recipes that are posted. So many of them are simple and I like that. Thanks
This will help me feed my family of 5! Always looking for new recipes to keep them happy! jstone45601 @ g mail dot com
Would love to try the cookbook. As a working mom with two student athletes, the hardest part of my day is determining "what's for dinner".
missyh143@yahoo.com
I never know what to fix every night. I seem to keep fixing the same things and they are tired of it! I feel bad not having anything new that they will like, this book looks great and would really help me out!!
When it comes to dinner and what to make that seems to be a hard decision for my husband and myself. We have gotten to the point where we will pull out a can of soup. This looks like a book that would give us ideas and with good results.
Quick and easy dinner! This cookbook sounds terrific! Thanks!
This would help me with some quick meals for my parents and myself.

As a working mom this book would be awesome!

As a working mom too, this book would be awesome!
It seems like I cook the same things week after week. I would love to surprise my husband and son with a yummy new meal from this cookbook once a week!

Southern Living never disappoints. Some of their recipes are staples in my house. I can always use some new ideas for "what's for dinner?".
My family is in desperate need of a change in our meal rotation, but the meals need to be ready in 30 minutes or less. This book would help to make that happen.
This would so help me because I am still a new wife and mom and I have no idea what I am doing in the kitchen quite yet lol.

I would love to have this book! I'm always looking for quick meals to prepare after a long day at the office. 🙂
With 3 growing boys and a hungry husband, this book would come in handy! Weekends and summers I'm always thinking of easy meals to make without repeats. Although I may not be a working mom I am a working round the clock stay at home mom 🙂 cheers from Austin Tx
I would love to have this book. Delicious and easy recipes would make life better. I have 2 daughters ages 14 and 11 that aren't picky eaters and love when I try new things. Definitely going to make the Chicken Parm Pizza's. Thanks again…email is silvertrout1974@hotmail.com
Because every one of your recipes I've tried, I've loved …
I'm not sure the contest is still on? I moved cross country and when my personal items finally caught up to me, my go-to cookbooks had disappeared. 🙁 I'm trying to look at it as an opportunity to explore food again, but…. :}

My husband and I both work full time and evenings are spent helping daughter with home work. Quick and easy meals are a treasure!

This book would be awesome. After 30+ years of cooking family meals, I am continually looking for new ideas to add to tje family standards & favorites. Also, with an almost 1year old grandson toddling everywhere, quick & easy have a major appeal right now 😉

I find myself in a rut, cooking the same things over and over again. This will be a nice way to change up what we have for dinner.
