Chicken and Bacon Garlic Bread Pizza – Had an extra loaf of garlic bread after a family meal? Turn it into a quick, satisfying pizza. This easy recipe uses a loaf of garlic bread as the base, topped with mozzarella, cooked chicken, bacon, fresh tomatoes and chives for a delicious, no-fuss meal.
Starting Your Chicken and Bacon Garlic Bread Pizza
You can use a store-bought unbaked garlic bread loaf or prepare your own garlic butter and spread it on a split French loaf. Either way, assemble the pizza on the buttered side without baking first so the toppings sit nicely on the bread.
Once the loaf is buttered, layer shredded mozzarella, diced cooked chicken and crumbled bacon. This combination is tasty on its own, but you can add tomato sauce and other classic pizza toppings if you prefer. For convenience, precooked bacon crumbles are a great pantry staple to keep on hand.
Finish with diced fresh tomatoes and chopped chives for brightness. Green onions also work well. If you have fresh chives from the garden, they add a pleasant mild onion flavor that complements the garlic butter and bacon.

Bake the assembled garlic bread pizza at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted. For a golden, bubbly finish, switch the oven to broil for 1–2 minutes—watch closely so it doesn’t burn.
