    chicken salad pizza with tomato, onion, lettuce, and cheesePin

    We eat a lot of homemade pizza. Weekly, sometimes more, Joe throws a few ingredients into my big stand mixer, and he whips up a pizza crust.

    Joe's pizza crusts are amazing. They are thick and chewy on the inside, but the outside and edges get a crispy and a little crunchy. They brown perfectly in the oven or on the grill.

    If you are thinking about making more homemade pizzas, check out this mega post of 24 pizza crust and topping recipes, where I guarantee you will find something that you will love.

    I'm salivating even thinking about our homemade pizza.

    Where this recipe came from

    The one we had this week was especially tasty because it was not a typical pizza: lettuce, ranch dressing, and shredded chicken topped the fabulous crust this time.

    Let me back up. Last week, we got a new couch. Behind the old couch, we found ten years' worth of garbage, dust, and assorted papers. One of the papers was a recipe for Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza from the Pampered Chef.

    Finding the recipe was serendipity. We have a fridge full of fresh veggies (thanks to our CSA and our garden), and we were needing to use them up anyway.

    Joe made chicken salad pizza the very next evening for dinner. The pizza was so good that we ate the whole thing. That very night. Joe ate the last piece that night, right before bed.

    You know that we can't leave any recipe alone, so we made a few changes to the Pampered Chef recipe.

    How to make a chicken salad pizza

    1. Roll the pizza crust out to fit the pizza stone you'll use. Bake the crust according to the recipe or package instructions until it's golden brown.
    2. Combine ranch dressing with garlic and half of the shredded cheese.
    3. Spread the dressing mix over the baked crust, then top with lettuce, chicken, cucumber, black olives, tomatoes, onions, and remaining cheese.
    4. Slice and serve immediately.

    Equipment

    • Garlic press
    • Pizza stone

    Ingredients
      

    • Pizza crust See link to homemade pizza crust in the notes below
    • ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    • ½ cups ranch dressing See link below to homemade ranch powder or use commercial dressing
    • 2 cloves garlic pressed
    • 2 cups romaine lettuce chopped
    • 1 cups shredded chicken 2 breasts if you cook the chicken and shred it yourself
    • ¼ cups cucumber diced, (you could substitute bell pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, or any combination of veggies. I wouldn't increase the amount, though, because there's already a lot of topping on the pizza.)
    • ¼ cups black olives sliced
    • ¼ cups red onion sliced
    • ¼ cups cherry tomatoes halved

    Instructions
     

    • Roll pizza crust out to fit your pizza stone. Bake according to recipe or package directions until it's golden brown.
    • Combine ranch dressing with half of the shredded cheese and the garlic.
    • Spread the dressing mixture over the pizza crust, then top with lettuce, chicken, cucumber, black olives, tomatoes, onions, and remaining cheese.
    • Slice and serve immediately.

    Notes

    Here is the link to our favorite homemade pizza dough. You could use a pre-made dough, and that would certainly save both time and effort, but the homemade dough is really delicious and I promise that you won't regret taking the extra time.
    Here is the link to our favorite homemade ranch dressing powder. That post includes directions for making dressing from the seasoning mix.

      I've been wanting to grill pizza & I think this might be the winning recipe! Easy to assemble outside! Glad you found that recipe back there. When we moved OUR couch, I found a dessicated mouse.
