Spinach Artichoke French Bread Pizza Recipe
Introduction
This Spinach Artichoke French Bread Pizza is a delicious twist on two favorites—creamy spinach artichoke dip meets cheesy, crispy French bread. Perfect as a hearty snack or a fun dinner, it combines fresh flavors with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients
- 14 ounce can quartered artichokes, drained and roughly chopped
- 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie or baked seasoned chicken
- 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 loaf French bread
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the artichokes, spinach, green chiles, shredded chicken, Parmesan, Monterey Jack, cheddar, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Mix well and set aside.
- Step 3: Carefully slice the French bread loaf lengthwise. Scoop out some of the soft bread inside to create a shallow well for the filling.
- Step 4: Divide the spinach artichoke mixture evenly between the two bread halves, spreading it into the wells.
- Step 5: Place the prepared bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the tops are beginning to turn golden brown.
- Step 6: Remove from the oven, slice into pieces, and serve warm.
Tips & Variations
- For extra crispiness, broil the pizza for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter option.
- Add red pepper flakes or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
- Use different cheeses like mozzarella or provolone based on your taste preferences.
Storage
Store any leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the bread crusty.

FAQs
Can I make this pizza ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and bread up to a day ahead. Store them separately and assemble right before baking for best texture.
Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?
Absolutely. Use about 6 cups of fresh spinach, sautéed and drained well to remove excess moisture before mixing with the other ingredients.

Filling Ingredients

- 4 ounce can diced green chiles, drained
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie or baked seasoned chicken
- 2 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Bread
- 1 loaf French bread
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking your French bread pizzas.
- Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, combine the artichokes, thawed spinach, diced green chiles, shredded chicken, Parmesan cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and minced garlic. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Prepare French Bread: Carefully slice the loaf of French bread lengthwise down the center to create two halves. Scoop out some of the soft interior to create a well for the filling without puncturing the crust.
- Fill Bread Halves: Evenly divide the prepared spinach and artichoke mixture between the two bread halves, spreading it out to cover the surface evenly.
- Bake: Place the filled bread halves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the cheese is completely melted and the tops have turned a golden brown color.
- Serve: Remove from oven, slice into portions, and serve warm for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the thawed spinach to prevent a soggy pizza.
- You can substitute the rotisserie chicken with cooked ground chicken or omit for a vegetarian option (without chicken).
- Using a good-quality French bread with a crunchy crust enhances the texture contrast with the creamy filling.
- For a spicier variation, add extra diced green chiles or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
