Ingredients
Chicken
- 3 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 Tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
Pizzas
- 4 Naan Breads OR pita breads (I like the StoneFire brand of Naan bread)
- 1 cup ranch dressing, plus more for drizzling
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups freshly grated mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon, chopped
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
Instructions
For Chicken: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pound chicken to an even thickness. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper together. Set aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place chicken upside down on tray. Drizzle chicken with about 1 tsp oil. Rub over with fingers. Sprinkle evenly with half of the seasoning. Flip chicken. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil, rub, sprinkle with remaining seasoning, covering as much of the surface area as you can.
Bake chicken for 18 minutes, or until internal temperature is 165°F using a meat thermometer. Allow chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes before dicing into 1-inch pieces.
For Pizzas: Place 2 Naan breads on two baking sheets. Mix the ranch dressing and freshly minced garlic clove together. Spread about ¼ cup of ranch dressing evenly over each naan bread. Sprinkle a 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch. Divide the diced chicken and bacon evenly among the 4 pizzas. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Bake pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the outer crusts are golden brown. Carefully remove from the oven and top with chopped green onion and an extra drizzle of ranch dressing, if desired. Cut into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Servings
Yields 4 naan pizzas. Serves 4.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover chicken bacon ranch pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the pizzas in the oven or air fryer at 350°F for 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crisp again. This method gives the best texture. You can also reheat slices in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds, though the crust will be softer.
Holly’s Tips for The Best Chicken Bacon Ranch Naan Pizzas:
- Use High-Quality Pita Bread: Use thicker naan breads like the StoneFire brand (or homemade) to prevent sogginess and ensure a crispy, pizza-like crust. You want it to be sturdy.
- Apply Ranch Evenly: While ranch is the star flavor, too much can make the pizzas soft. I recommend sticking to about ¼ cup per pita for the best balance.
- Keep An Eye On Cooking Time: Since these pizzas cook quickly, keep an eye on them. Remove as soon as the cheese melts and edges turn lightly golden.
- Garnish Before Serving: Add green onions and an extra drizzle of ranch after baking for a fresh finish.
- Make It Your Own: Add ingredients like diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or red onions to make your chicken bacon ranch pizza even more flavorful.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! You can assemble the pita pizzas a few hours in advance and store them covered in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, bake as directed for a quick and easy meal.
Use a moderate amount of ranch dressing, avoid overloading with toppings, and bake until the edges are lightly golden. Bake directly on the oven rack for extra crispiness.
Yes, air fryer pita pizzas are quick and crispy. Cook at 375°F for about 5 minutes, depending on your air fryer size and how many you’re making.
To make gluten-free, simply swap the regular naan bread for your favorite gluten-free pita or flatbread. Double-check that your ranch dressing, cooked chicken, and bacon are all labeled gluten-free, as some brands may contain hidden gluten. Assemble and bake the pizzas as directed, keeping an eye on cook time since gluten-free breads can brown a bit faster.
