Chicken Club Pizza

This is another one of those record-keeping posts.  So if you get the email version of this - yes, consider this spam.  Or continue to read about my adventures in finding a new recipe because this one is REALLY REALLY good!!  I have to thank April for telling me about the Kraft recipe website where I found this gem.

The recipe is super simple but it took me about 4 times longer than I like to take to fix supper and used more dishes than I like to use on a weeknight.   BUT with a few changes I think it will be a definite keeper. 

Here is the original recipe with changes in color:

1 can refrigerated pizza crust
1/4 cup mayo with olive oil 1/8 cup mayo with or without olive oil
1/2 cup ranch dressing 1/4 cup ranch dressing
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 1 1/2 bags - I dont know how much that is
1 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 lb smoked chicken from Earls or from grocery store rotisserie, chopped
8 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled precooked bacon crumbles
1 1/2 cups finely shredded lettuce
1 tomato finely chopped
1 avocado diced
1 can sliced black olives

Preheat oven to 400
Spray cooking spray onto baking sheet and unroll pizza crust, bake 10 min
Mix mayo & ranch dressing and spread onto crust
Top with half the cheese, chicken, bacon and remaining cheese (on top)
Bake 5 min or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted
Top with lettuce & tomatoes

I'll have to try it again with the changes.  If I don't have to cook the meat I'll save a ton of time and 1 cutting board, 2 skillets & 2 tongs.  The other changes were just to our my taste.  It DEFINITELY needed avocado but it was wonderful anyway!

I only put lettuce & tomatoes on the part I thought I would eat that night.


**Peyton says this is NOT pizza.  He ate his obligatory bites of chicken & tomatoes and then ate the mac & cheese I left on his shelf in the fridge.
