Description

This pizza with chicken, bacon, ranch dressing, mozzarella cheese, red onion, and tomatoes is fast to make when using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and prepared pizza dough.

Ingredients

4 slices bacon
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 (10 ounce) container refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning, divided
1/3 cup ranch dressing
6 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup cubed, cooked chicken
1/8 cup sliced red onion
1 small tomato, sliced
1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Cook bacon in a large skillet and over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels and cool.
3 Pour oil into a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Brush oil all over the interior of the skillet. Place dough into the skillet and shape into a pizza, forming a crust at the edge. Prick dough all over with a fork.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and reshape dough if necessary. Sprinkle the top of the dough with 2 teaspoons ranch seasoning. Spread ranch dressing on top.
5 Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, chicken, and red onion over pizza crust. Crumble cooled bacon on top.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and top is browned, about 20 minutes.
7 Remove pizza from oven and top with tomato slices. Melt butter and mix in the remaining dry ranch seasoning. Brush crust with butter-ranch mixture.
8 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
9 Broil pizza until cheese is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to burn.
