Assembly Method

Dough Preparation:
Gently stretch the dough using a combination of gravity and careful hand rotation. Allow brief resting periods if the dough becomes too springy.
Sauce Application:
Blend ranch dressing with fresh minced garlic. Apply a thin, even layer across the dough surface for optimal texture.
Cheese Distribution:
Mix cheese varieties together before applying to ensure even distribution of flavors throughout the pizza.
Topping Layout:
Layer half the cheese mixture first, add prepared toppings, then finish with remaining cheese to protect ingredients while baking.

Serving Suggestions

Balance the rich pizza with a fresh garden salad dressed in light vinaigrette. Quick-roasted vegetables make an excellent side dish for busy evenings.

Recipe Adaptations

Consider adding crumbled bacon or substituting roasted vegetables for the chicken. Seasonal tomato varieties can enhance color and flavor profiles.

Storage Guidelines

Store remaining slices in an airtight container for up to three days. Recrisp in a hot oven or air fryer before serving.

Ingredients

→ Base

01 1 pre-made or freshly made pizza crust

→ Sauce

02 2 minced garlic cloves
03 ⅔ cup of Ranch dressing

→ Cheese

04 ½ cup cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
05 ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
06 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, shredded

→ Toppings

07 2 diced Roma tomatoes
08 A cooked chicken breast, cut into thin slices
09 ¼ cup chopped green onions

Instructions

Step 01

Heat your oven to 425°F. Oil up a 16-inch pizza pan. Stretch the dough to fit snugly in the pan.

Step 02

Stir together the minced garlic and Ranch dressing in a little bowl. Spread this nice and evenly over the crust.

Step 03

Put all the cheeses into one bowl and mix them up. Spread half of the mix over the sauce. Layer on the chicken, tomatoes, and green onions, then sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

Step 04

Pop the pizza into the oven and bake it anywhere from 12 to 15 minutes. Keep an eye on it after 10 minutes, and pull it out once the cheese is melted and bubbly, with the top getting a golden color.

Step 05

Take the pizza out of the oven and give it a little time to cool before slicing it into pieces and serving it warm.

Notes

  1. You can use either bought pizza crust or make it from scratch.
  2. The pizza tastes best when served warm or hot.
  3. Keep a close watch near the end of cooking to avoid burning.
