Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza (Printable)
Golden pizza with savory chicken, crisp lettuce, and tangy Caesar flavors
# What You'll Need:
→ Pizza Base and Toppings
01 - 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough (12-inch round)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or shredded
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
→ Caesar Salad Topping
07 - 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
08 - 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
09 - 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
10 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 1/2 cup croutons
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, heat it in the oven as well.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated stone.
03 - Brush olive oil evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly, then add the cooked chicken and grated Parmesan. Season with cracked black pepper.
04 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
05 - While the pizza bakes, toss romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing in a bowl until well coated.
06 - Once the pizza is slightly cooled, top with the dressed romaine, shaved Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and croutons. Slice and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- You get that irresistible crispy cheesy pizza base with all the cool crunch of a classic Caesar
- The hot crust meets cool dressed lettuce in a way that feels ridiculously clever and satisfying
02 -
- The lettuce must go on after baking or you will have sad wilted greens nobody wants
- Let the pizza cool for literally two minutes before topping or the dressing slides right off
03 -
- Use a pizza stone if you have access to one because the bottom crust gets spectacular
- Grate your own Parmesan because the pre-grated stuff has anti-caking agents that mess with the melt
