Ingredients

Spray oil
1 lb Homemade or store bought pizza dough
2 tablespoons garlic olive oil
1 teaspoon Pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning
1 cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
15 thick slices of fresh mozzarella
1 lb. bacon cut up and cooked
3 cups cooked chicken cubed or shredded

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 475 F. Spray 13x9 pan with spray oil. Then brush the entire pan with garlic oil, make sure to get the corners.
Spray oil, 2 tablespoons garlic olive oil
Roll out pizza dough into a rectangle shape. Place the dough into pan, and press into corners. Sprinkle with Pizza seasoning. Add the freshly grated mozzarella over the top, again, make sure to get cheese into the corners of the pan.

If your fresh mozzarella is on the moist side, after slicing the thick pieces, press them with a tea towel or paper towel to get the moisture out. Then layer the slices over the grated mozzarella. Trust us, this is the order you want to go in!

Now it is time for the bacon! Sprinkle the bacon evenly over the mozzarella. Yes, we use a full pound of bacon fried up for this. This is how much you will want for the ration of pizza crust, to cheese, to chicken!
1 lb. bacon
In a bowl, mix the cooked chicken with the ranch dressing. We use our hands to mix this. You are looking for a mixture that is on the wetter side, just not too wet. Adjust the Ranch dressing amount based on your chicken amount. Now put that chicken over the top of the bacon. The chicken protects the bacon from getting over cooked, and everything will melt together, we promise!

Bake for 15 minutes, then cover with foil, and turn for even baking. Remove pizza from oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes, to set up. Run a butter knife along the outside of the pizza to loosen it up from the pan. Using a thin metal spatula, remove the pizza onto a butcher block. Slice pizza into squares.
