Cheesy Chicken Pizza Bagels are the perfect choice for meals!
Broiling is my new go-to for getting that crisp, toasted cheese you expect from a pizza oven. Until now I usually baked or grilled pizza, but broiling delivers a quick, golden finish that mimics that oven-fresh texture—perfect for the months when grilling isn’t an option.
These bagel pizzas come together in minutes and quickly became a weeknight favorite in my house. My son asked for them repeatedly—lunch and dinner almost every day—because they’re that easy and satisfying.
I used leftover rotisserie chicken and simple pantry ingredients, which makes these bagel pizzas a great option for quick lunches, easy dinners, or kid-friendly meals. They’re also adaptable—swap in different vegetables or proteins to suit your family’s tastes.
I originally adapted this recipe from Cooking Light and have enjoyed experimenting with it ever since. It’s a reliable, flexible recipe that’s great for busy evenings.
