Chicken Cordon Bleu French Bread Pizza

1-2 loaves French bread

1 tsp garlic salt

1 tsp Italian seasonings

4 c shredded mozzarella cheese

1 c shredded Gruyere cheese

2 c cooked breaded chicken (such as Tysons Crispy chicken strips), diced

1/2 c diced cooked ham

1/4 c bacon bits

4-5 green onions, thinly sliced

Alfredo sauce:

1.5 c heavy cream

2 Tbs unsalted butter

table salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

1.5 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated

1/8 tsp grated nutmeg

Cook chicken according to directions and make your Alfredo sauce by bringing one cup of heavy cream and butter to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Reduce heat to low and simmer gently until the mixture reduces to 2/3 cup, 12-15 minutes.  Off the heat, stir in the remaining 1/2 c cream, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper.  Return to a simmer over medium-high heat, reduce heat to low and add cheese and nutmeg, heat until cheese is just melted, 1-2 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut bread in half lengthwise and place cut sides up on a large (lined with aluminum) baking sheet.  Spread Alfredo sauce evenly over bread.  Sprinkle garlic salt and Italian seasonings on top of sauce.

Top with mozzarella cheese, Gruyere cheese, cooked chicken, ham, bacon, and green onions.  Bake 10 minutes or until cheese starts to melt.
