Ingredients

1 chicken breast, boneless and skinless
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 refrigerated pizza crust dough
6 slice bacon, cooked
1/2 c sharp cheddar cheese
3-4 Tbsp ranch dressing
salt and pepper
non stick cooking spray

2. Roll out pizza dough on floured surface into a rectangle shape. Spread on ranch. Add chicken, cheese, and precooked bacon.

Tips:

For a crispier texture, brush the bread with melted butter before baking.
Feel free to use your favorite bread recipe. A homemade loaf will give you the best results, but a store-bought loaf will work just fine.
If you don't have ranch dressing mix, you can make your own by combining 1 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup buttermilk, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1 tablespoon dried chives, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
You can use any type of cheese you like. Cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good options.
If you don't have cooked bacon, you can cook it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on paper towels before using.
This bread is best served warm, but it can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven.
