Ingredients
  

  • 1 premade pizza crust naan, flatbread, or prebaked shell
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/3 cup ricotta
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese grated and divided
  • 1 cup cooked chicken sliced or chopped
  • 2 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 3 cups romaine lettuce washed and chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons Caesar dressing
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • squeeze of lemon optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F and place the crust on a baking sheet or directly on the rack for a crisp bottom.
  • Warm the crust for 3–4 minutes, then remove and brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano.
  • Dollop ricotta over the crust, then sprinkle with mozzarella and half of the Parmesan.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crisp and lightly golden.
  • Toss chopped romaine with enough Caesar dressing to lightly coat, then mix in chicken, bacon, and remaining Parmesan.
  • Top the hot pizza with the Caesar salad, then finish with extra Parmesan, black pepper, and a squeeze of lemon if using.
  • Slice and serve immediately while the crust is crisp and the salad is cool.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Recipe Notes

  • Do not overdress the romaine. A light coating is all you need, so the greens stay crisp on top of the pizza.
  • Warm the chicken before adding it so the finished pizza does not lose heat too quickly.
  • If you want the crispiest crust, bake the flatbread directly on the oven rack for the last few minutes.
  • This pizza is best served right after assembling because the dressed greens will soften as they sit.
