My husband is super into white pizzas and, while those are traditionally made with Alfredo sauce, I whipped this version of chicken bacon ranch pizza up for him.
He was quite happy with it. So was I.
I mean…what’s not to love about ANYTHING coated in ranch dressing? Especially if you throw in some bacon! 😉
How to make chicken bacon and ranch pizza:
We’re going to use my favorite recipe for fathead pizza as the dough. It’s completely grain and gluten free and it’s totally family-friendly. My kids love it as much as I do!
You’ll microwave mozzarella and cream cheese together, stir well to combine, and then stir in an egg and some almond flour to form a dough.
Roll the dough out between two pieces of parchment paper to fit on your pizza pan. I use this pizza pan (affiliate) and it works great.
Be sure that your pan is lined with parchment paper or it will stick and you will never get it off. Trust me – use the parchment paper!!
We’re going to bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until it’s nice and golden brown.
Next, you’ll pour on your ranch dressing. You can use bottled ranch if you like, but I totally recommend my homemade ranch dressing. Check the reviews on it – I’ve had so many people say it’s the best ranch dressing they’ve ever tried!
Sprinkle on your cheddar and top that off with some cooked, chopped chicken. I just used some of my leftover ranch grilled chicken, but whatever you have on hand works well!
Don’t forget loads of crispy bacon!
Pop that all back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese and then it’s time to sprinkle on some chives and dig in!
I’m seriously obsessed with ranch dressing, so this pizza is basically nirvana for someone like me. Plus all that bacon…so good!

Hi, I was wondering if the pizza crust could be made ahead and frozen?
Karly Campbell says
Hi Debbie! Yes, I would recommend doing the initial cook, cool, and then freeze. You can freeze multiple this way with parchment stacked between them to keep them separate. 🙂

Thank you for the effort in making “pizza”. We make cauliflower crust pizza and have come to love it. I’m sure this will be the same. We weren’t in love with it compared to real pizza, but it’s not trying to be. we did half the pizza with ranch and 1/2 with low carb homemade pizza sauce. We preferred the red sauce side. Just our preference. It was nice to have a popular tested recipe to use. BTW… It was better reheated the next day. 🙂 Cold leftover pizza for breakfast YUM!!! 🙂 Thank you again.

I just made this and I coated the chicken pieces with barbecue sauce. It tasted almost like California Pizzas BBQ chicken pizza. My husband liked it too.
Karly Campbell says
Yum!!
Julie Maness says
it still turned out wonderful! The crust was a bit overbrowned, but did not taste like it was! Thanks for sharing. Will be on my table again for sure!
Julie Maness says
I have a gas oven, so I am not sure if that has made a difference, but my first bake of the crust nearly burned it. I think next time I will lower the temp and time, and add or dust some additional flour but the crust taste is wonderful
Karly Campbell says
Hi Julie! I’m using a gas oven as well, so I wouldn’t think that would make a difference. The crust should be nearly finished baking before adding the toppings, so that it is sturdy enough to hold like a traditional crust. I’d try baking for a bit less time next time or adjusting the temperature. 🙂

Can you substitute coconut flour with the almond flour? If so what would the measuring portion be
Karly Campbell says
I would try using 1/3 cup coconut flour.
Margie says
The Cheddar cheese isn’t listed in the ingredient list.
Karly Campbell says
Sorry about that – it should be 2 cups. 🙂
Debi Pannell says
The directions indicate cheddar cheese, but it’s not in the ingredient list. How much did you use? Thanks!
Karly Campbell says
Sorry about that! It’s 2 cups. 🙂
