🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Dough (or use store-bought):
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp sugar
¾ cup warm water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Toppings:
1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ cup ranch dressing (homemade or bottled)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
1 tsp garlic powder
Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)
🧑🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Pizza Dough (or prep store-bought)
If you’re using homemade dough:
In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
2. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
3. Prepare the Toppings
Cook the chicken (grilled or pan-seared is best) and bacon, then chop or shred.
Set them aside on paper towels to absorb excess grease.
4. Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour your surface and roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle or oval.
Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel if using a stone.
5. Assemble the Pizza
Spread ranch dressing evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border.
Add shredded chicken, bacon crumbles, and mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle garlic powder and Parmesan on top.
6. Bake It
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
7. Garnish and Serve
Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions. Slice and serve immediately.
👩🍳 Pro Tips for Pizza Perfection
✓ Use pre-cooked chicken – Rotisserie or leftover grilled chicken works great.
✓ Cook your bacon crispy – This keeps it from going soggy when baked.
✓ Try different cheeses – Add sharp cheddar or provolone for a twist.
✓ Make it spicy – Add a dash of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of buffalo sauce.
