Ingredients

  • 2 packs Steak-umm® Sliced Chicken Steaks
  • 1 1/2 cups total BBQ pizza sauce (equal parts marinara sauce and BBQ sauce, plus 1 tbsp Italian seasoning)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • French bread, halved
  • 2–3 tbsp melted butter
  • Garlic and herb seasoning, to taste
  • Finely shredded mozzarella cheese, for sprinkling
  • Thinly sliced red onions
  • Jalapeño wheels (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for topping

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix equal parts of your favorite marinara sauce and BBQ sauce. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  • Cook the Steak-umm: In a skillet, brown and chop the 2 packs of Steak-umm® Sliced Chicken Steaks with 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook until heated through and slightly browned, then set aside.
  • Prepare the Bread: Carefully slice the French bread in half and brush generously with melted butter mixed with garlic and herb seasoning. Sprinkle a light layer of finely shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) until the cheese melts and the bread is lightly browned, approximately 4–6 minutes.
  • Assemble the Pizza: Spread an even coat of the BBQ pizza sauce on both halves of the bread. Top with the cooked Steak-umm mixture, thinly sliced red onions, additional shredded mozzarella, and jalapeño wheels, if using.
  • Bake the Pizza: Place the assembled pizza on a lined cookie sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 13–15 minutes.
  • Finish and Serve: Top with fresh cilantro leaves. Slice, serve with leftover pizza sauce, and enjoy!
