Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
A delicious twist on traditional pizza packed with tender chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch dressing topped with mozzarella cheese.
Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 ball homemade pizza dough (or one ball of store-bought pizza dough)
Sauce and Toppings
- ¾ cup Ranch dressing Plus more for garnish
- 2 cups cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken (shredded or chopped into bite-sized pieces)
- 2½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon
- Chopped fresh parsley For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about ¼ inch thick. Let it rest for 5 minutes if it resists stretching.
- Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone dusted with cornmeal or flour.
Assembly
- Spread Ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border for the crust.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ranch dressing.
- Distribute cooked chicken pieces over the cheese, then scatter crumbled bacon on top.
Baking
- Bake in the oven for 10 to 13 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
Serving
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes. Drizzle additional ranch dressing over and garnish with parsley.
- Cut into slices and serve warm with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
Great with a side of salad or crunchy veggies. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
