Description
Prepare to indulge in a mouthwatering culinary delight – Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza! This irresistible creation combines the classic flavors of juicy chicken, crispy bacon, and creamy ranch dressing, all atop a perfectly baked pizza crust.
Ingredients
- 1/2 batch of homemade pizza dough or 1 ball of store-bought dough
- 1/4 cup of creamy ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup of cooked and shredded or chopped chicken
- 8 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 6 slices of crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
- Thinly sliced scallions, or green onions (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for a pizza stone, or 450°F (230°C) for a standard baking sheet.
2. Roll out your pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel.
3. Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
4. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ranch base.
5. Top the pizza with the cooked chicken, distributing it evenly.
6. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the top.
7. Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
8. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before serving.
9. Drizzle extra ranch dressing over the top and scatter sliced scallions if using.
Notes
To ensure your Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza turns out perfectly, consider using a high-quality store-bought dough if homemade is not an option.
Feel free to customize your toppings with veggies like diced tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, or jalapenos for extra flavor.
