Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1-2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2/3 cup ranch dressing
- 1 tomato, sliced and diced
- 1/4 cups green onion, chopped
- 1½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese *(see notes)
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese *(see notes)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1½ cup chopped or shredded cooked chicken *(see notes)
- 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled *(see notes)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F
- Put the pizza crust on a pizza pan or pizza peel. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the entire crust with olive oil and season with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- Evenly spread ranch dressing over the crust.
- Sprinkle with cheese then top with chicken, tomatoes, green onions, and bacon crumbs.
- Place the pizza* in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden. Let rest for several minutes, then cut and serve.
Notes
- I use my pizza stone and heat it in the oven while preheating the oven. Then I use a pizza peel to place the unbaked pizza in the oven on the hot stone. The hot stone transmits heat to the bottom of the pizza crust, just like the floor of a wood-fired oven. If you put the pizza on a cold stone and put them in the hot oven, you will not get the same results
- Pizza Crust: I usually buy the pre-made pizza crusts at the store. Or you could buy the dough (Trader Joe's has great pizza dough) or make the crust from scratch.
- Chicken: Rotisserie or leftover chicken is great for this pizza, or just cut up 8 ounces of chicken breasts and saute in a skillet with a little olive oil and garlic.
- If you can, shred your own cheese, it's SO much better than the pre-shredded cheese from the store.
- I use the fully cooked microwave bacon from the store when I'm in a hurry. Afterall, frying bacon is messy for just 4 pieces ;)
