barbecue chicken texas toast

Ever wonder what to do with all that garlic french bread toast in your freezer? I did. I always buy that freezer french bread garlic toast and then completely forget about it when it's time for dinner. So, I looked around the internet and found a recipe where someone had turned it into a dinner sized crostini. Genius!

I mean, really, how much easier could this get? Cook the french bread garlic toast according to the package directions, maybe even under a little bit because they'll be going back in the oven after being topped.

All you do for the chicken is cut it up into little chunks, cook until no longer pink and toss in garlic and toss in the barbecue of your choice. We used honey barbecue because that's what was in the fridge.

Step number 3 is to brush ranch dressing on top of the toast, and then to load up that toasted garlic french bread toast with cheese of your choice (we went with smoked gouda) and the chicken. Pop under the broiler and you've got a meal!
