The recipe is as follows:
1 can Pillsbury pizza dough (or your favorite recipe)
1 C Ranch
1/2 lb. Bacon
2 large chicken breasts
1 T vegetable oil
Shredded mozzarella cheese
2 C raw mushrooms
1/3 C butter
1-1/2 t garlic powder
S & P to taste
To begin, preheat your oven to 375 degrees and cook up your meats and mushrooms.
Cut your chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and cook in the vegetable oil.
Crisp up your bacon in a frying pan. When it is fully cooked, place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Then, cut into bite-sized pieces for the pizza.
Melt the butter and add in the mushrooms. Once coated, sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt & pepper. Cook these about 15 minutes, or until they are as tender as you prefer.
While the meats and mushrooms are finishing up, roll out your pizza dough onto a non-stick or sprayed baking sheet and bake for 4-5 minutes to keep your dough from getting soggy when you add all the ingredients on top. Don't cook the dough too long, just enough to give it a head start!
(Tip: I have always poked my pizza dough with a fork all over to prevent the crust from bubbling up)
Once the dough is done pre-baking and the meats and mushrooms are ready, spread however much ranch you'd like on the crust. I put 1 cup in the ingredients, but this is your "pizza sauce", so if you usually like it saucy then load it up! Otherwise, maybe use a little less - you can always drizzle extra ranch over it at the end.
Continue with the chicken, bacon and mushrooms. Finish it off with a sprinkling of mozzarella or your favorite pizza cheese.
Now it's ready for the oven! Bake the pizza on the middle oven rack for 20 - 25 minutes or until the cheese begins browning. Everything you put on it is cooked, so just keep an eye on it for however well-done you prefer your crust.
(If you notice the cheese is ready and beginning to brown, but the crust is still a bit soft, move your oven rack to the bottom and put the pizza down lower. This will concentrate more of the heat on the crust, and give the cheese a little break. Make sure to check it often so it doesn't burn!
...and voilà! Your chicken, bacon, ranch pizza is ready to eat!
