Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 475°F and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat for 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: On a floured surface, roll out 1 lb pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Brush the surface with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper evenly over the dough.
  3. Step 3: Evenly spread 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Distribute 8 oz shredded cooked chicken breast and 6 chopped cooked bacon strips over the cheese layer.
  5. Step 5: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle 1/3 cup ranch dressing evenly over the top. Slice and serve immediately while warm.
