Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

It is no secret that pizza is my absolute favorite food. I crave it WAY more often than my husband wants to have it, so when I do get it, I usually just want the traditional tomato sauce version. However, there are a ton of great variations out there that don't taste anything like regular pizza, so I can make them all I want and no one can complain!

This is a simple but delicious white sauce pizza with incredible flavor. It does call for precooked chicken and bacon, but the bacon only takes a minute and leftover cooked chicken is pretty common around my house, probably around yours, too. With those on hand, this comes together faster than Dominos can deliver!


Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

Prep time: 5 min  Bake time: 15 min
Serves 4

1 (13.8 oz) can pizza dough
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup chicken, cooked and shredded
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

For the Garlic-Ranch Sauce:
2 Tbs sour cream
3 Tbs mayonnaise
2 1/2 Tbs milk
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/8 tsp dill
1/8 tsp dried parsley
dash of onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 450ºF.  Spread out pizza dough on a pizza pan or sheet pan.  Mix all ingredients together for the garlic-ranch sauce. Spread mixture over the top of the pizza dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over top, followed by the chicken, bacon, and tomatoes. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.  Bake for 9-12 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
