# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 batch pizza dough or one ball store-bought pizza dough
02 - 1/4 cup ranch dressing, plus extra for garnish
03 - 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
04 - 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
05 - 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
06 - 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) if using a pizza stone; 450°F (230°C) for a standard baking sheet. Place the rack in the lower third of the oven.
02 - Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-14 inch circle. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
03 - Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edge for the crust.
04 - Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the ranch base. Top with the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon, distributing evenly for full coverage.
05 - Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top, ensuring each bite will have plenty of gooey cheese.
06 - Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
07 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with a little extra ranch, if desired, and scatter sliced scallions over the top. Slice and serve while hot.

# Tips:

01 - Pair with a fresh salad, garlic knots, or veggie sticks for a complete meal.
