Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza (Printable)

Crispy crust meets classic Caesar flavors with tender chicken, creamy dressing, and fresh romaine lettuce for an irresistible fusion.

# What You Need:

→ Pizza Base

01 - 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough, 12-inch round
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Pizza Toppings

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
09 - 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
10 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
11 - 1/2 cup croutons

# How-To:

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.
07 - Slice and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
