Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts cooked and shredded
  • 6 slices of bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 1 package pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken and Bacon:

  • Cook the chicken breasts by grilling, baking, or sautéing until fully cooked, then shred using two forks.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.

Prepare the Filling:

  • 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 well to combine.

Assemble the Chicken Bake:

  • 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).
  • 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.

Bake:

  • 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.

Serve:

  • Let the chicken bake cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Serve as a main dish or pair with a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

Substitute Caesar dressing with ranch dressing if preferred.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time.
For a crispier crust, brush the dough with garlic butter before baking.
