Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound prepared pizza dough
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ cup water, or more as needed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed for surface
- ½ cup creamy Caesar dressing
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded Italian cheeses (such as mozzarella and provolone), divided

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove chicken from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes. Once cooled, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. Shape it into a large rectangle or square.
- Spread Caesar dressing evenly across the center of the dough.
- Top with shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, green onions, Italian cheeses, and Parmesan cheese.
- Fold the sides of the dough over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a log or wrap.
- Place the chicken bake seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the beaten egg over the top of the dough for a golden, crispy crust.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
- Slice and serve hot!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of Caesar dressing to your taste, or use a different dressing if preferred.
