Instructions

1
Divide French bread halves, face-up, between 2 Suvie pans. Spread loaves with ¼ cup softened butter and sprinkle with 2 minced garlic cloves. Lightly season each half with a pinch of black pepper. Place the pans into your Suvie and broil for 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
2
Place 2 cups of diced cooked chicken in a medium bowl, add ¼ cup buffalo sauce, and toss to coat.
3
Divide chicken between the 2 toasted French bread halves and top with 1 cup cheddar, ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles, and 2 tbsp chopped scallions (reserving the remaining scallions for garnish). Return the pans to your Suvie, input settings, and cook now.
4
After the 10 minute mark, check the status of your French bread pizzas to see if the cheese is melted and the edges are golden brown. If you like your pizzas extra crispy, add another 5 minutes to the cook time. After the cook, remove the pans from your Suvie, and slice the French breads into individual pieces. Divide between 2 plates and garnish with the remaining scallions before serving.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Mix softened butter with minced garlic and spread on the cut sides of the bread before adding toppings to create a flavorful, toasted crust.
Spread buffalo sauce on the bread before adding chicken to prevent soggy spots—the bread absorbs excess moisture.
Pat shredded rotisserie chicken dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid and prevent a wet topping.
Scatter blue cheese crumbles on top just before baking so they soften without browning too much.

Substitutions

Buffalo wing sauce → hot sauce or Frank's RedHot (adjust quantity to taste preference)
Blue cheese crumbles → ranch dressing drizzle or omit entirely for milder flavor
Cheddar cheese → mozzarella or a blend of mozzarella and provolone
Scallions → chopped fresh cilantro, parsley, or celery leaves for color and crunch

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on a baking sheet at 350°F for 8–10 minutes until warmed through.

Common Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes. Assemble the pizzas on the bread up to 4 hours ahead, cover with plastic wrap, refrigerate, then bake when ready. Add 2–3 minutes to baking time if cooking from cold.

What type of cooked chicken works best?

Rotisserie chicken, leftover roasted chicken, or store-bought precooked chicken breast all work. Shred or dice into bite-sized pieces for even distribution.

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes. Mozzarella, provolone, or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella are good substitutes. Blue cheese can be replaced with crumbled feta or omitted entirely.
