Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices crispy bacon, crumbled
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder
- Optional: 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and ranch dressing. Mix well. If using, add garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly into a log, sealing the edges and tucking the ends under.
- Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let cool slightly, slice, garnish with parsley, and serve hot.
Notes
For a healthier version, consider using low-fat cheese, reducing the bacon, or opting for whole-wheat pizza dough. Customize the fillings by adding sautéed vegetables or different spices to suit your taste.
