→ Base & Sauces
05 -
1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
06 -
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
07 -
1 tbsp olive oil
→ Seasonings
08 -
Salt and pepper to taste
09 -
1 tsp garlic powder
10 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the chicken breasts by grilling, baking, or sautéing until fully cooked. Shred the chicken using two forks. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything together until well combined.
03 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12×8 inches in size.
04 -
Spread the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the center of the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Carefully fold the sides of the dough over the filling, then fold the ends to seal it into a rectangle or log shape.
05 -
Place the chicken bake seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil for a golden, crispy finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
# Notes:
01 -
You can use a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to make this recipe even easier
02 -
Ranch dressing can be substituted for Caesar dressing if preferred
03 -
For an extra crispy crust, try brushing the dough with garlic butter before baking
