Chicken bacon ranch pizza is a white pizza topped with tender chicken, crumbled bacon, and Ranch Dressing. An easy meal for the pickiest of eaters.

Are there pantry staples that you always have in your house? No matter what, we always have Ranch Dressing in my fridge and a few in the pantry. It pairs with just about everything and my son loves it.

And the combo of chicken, bacon, and ranch is just a match made in heaven! Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps are great for quick and easy dinners.

Ranch Pizza

Chicken, Bacon, and ranch are all ingredients that make my mouth water. And I dip pizza crust in ranch all the time, so why not put them all on the actual pizza?

Savory, salty and perfectly seasoned with ranch dressing, just pair it with cheese and an easy pizza crust for a family-friendly meal. I also added tomatoes and green onions, just for some color.

Most white pizzas have a creamy garlic sauce base, but technically speaking, any pizza without a tomato based sauce is considered to be white. So there you go. For this one you can use a layer or ranch or I like to use a garlic oil and top with ranch. Either is delicious!

Ingredients

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post for the FULL PRINTABLE recipe card.

Just a handful of ingredients for the perfect meal!

  • Pizza crust – you can use a store bought dough or make your own with my No Knead Pizza Dough.
  • Shredded chicken– great use of leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • Bacon– cooked and crumbled, adds salty balance and chewy texture.
  • Garlic olive oil – Garlic infused olive oil is great for so many recipes, especially topping salads. If you don’t have any just brush ranch over the crust instead.
  • Cheddar & Mozzarella cheese– Cheese blends make simple recipes taste sophisticated, but using one or the other, or a different type of cheese entirely is also an option.
  • Roma tomato & green onions– I like the freshness it adds and balances the flavors, but you can leave them out as well.
  • Ranch Dressing- the star of the show, RANCH! You can use any type you enjoy.

How to Make Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

  1. Preheat the oven. Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray and sprinkle cornmeal over the top. Roll the crust out into about a 12 inch circle. Use a fork to poke holes all over the crust. Bake for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the crust from the oven and brush with garlic oil or ranch dressing..
  3. Evenly divide the chicken, bacon and cheese over the crust.
  4. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese bubbles.
  5. Remove it from the oven and immediately top with the tomatoes and green onions.
  6. Drizzle the ranch dressing over the pizza, slice and serve.

Recipe Tips & Tricks

  • Ranch makes a great sauce for this pizza, so if you don’t have garlic oil or just want more ranch flavor brush that over the crust before topping with chicken and other toppings.
  • The fresh tomatoes and green onions give a brightness to the pizza, but if you don’t like tomatoes you can leave them off.
  • I like to pre-bake my dough a little before adding the toppings. I think this gives it a crispier crust when you are baking it at home. Just make sure to really pierce the crust with a fork or it will rise and get thicker than you may want.
  • Use any chicken you like. This is a great use of leftover chicken or you can stop for a rotisserie chicken on your way home from work.
  • The sky is the limit as far as pizza toppings and nearly everything pairs with chicken, bacon and ranch. So get creative and add more toppings if you like!

Leftovers

Unfortunately, pizza isn’t great made ahead and homemade pizza doesn’t freeze well. But leftover, they are divine!

Enjoy cold or reheat in a warm oven. Another trick I’ve learned from my Italian friends is that it is quicker and yields the crispiest crust to reheat leftover pizza in a frying pan. The Air Fryer also works wonders in just 1-2 minutes. Line the basket with aluminum foil to mitigate clean up mess.

  1. This looks delicious! I love the recipe, just perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. We’re not big ranch people, but rather always have Italian dressing at all times. I think I might need to add to my dressing arsenal, though, based on the many recipes that use ranch. I’m sure the kids would love it too. Thanks for sharing, and I can’t wait to give it a try.
