Ingredients

1/2 lb bacon chopped
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces (about 8 oz)
1 lb pizza dough
1/2 cup prepared Ranch salad dressing
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat the oven to 450ºF.* Let the oven heat up for at least 30 minutes.
Place the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel covered plate.
1/2 lb bacon
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook, stirring as needed, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
Roll the dough into a 12” circle.**
1 lb pizza dough
Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a 1” border around the dough.
1/2 cup prepared Ranch salad dressing
Sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the dressing, followed by the bacon and the chicken.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Place the pizza in the oven and back until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is browned, 10-15 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and green onion to the top of the pizza before serving.
1 cup chopped tomatoes, 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Notes

*I always use a pizza stone - I think it makes a big difference in the final product. They are relatively inexpensive and they last a long time. I always preheat mine for 30 minutes before baking a pizza on it.

**I like to use parchment paper when I make pizza - it makes it easy to transfer the pizza to the oven and holds up under the hot heat for the short amount of time it takes to bake the pizza.

I also like a bit of a thinner crust, so I use less than 1 lb of dough. You can change this according to your preferences.
