Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a medium bowl, combine the ground chicken, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3
Place the chicken mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and press it down into a thin, even pizza crust shape.
4
Bake the crust for 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
5
Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the ranch dressing over the crust, then top with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and chopped bacon.
6
Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the toppings.
7
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Remove from the oven, drizzle with extra ranch dressing and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Pat ground chicken dry before mixing with seasonings to reduce moisture and ensure a crispier, more cohesive crust.
Press the chicken mixture evenly into the pan with wet hands to prevent sticking and achieve uniform thickness for even cooking.
Pre-bake the crust 12–15 minutes before topping so it sets and won't absorb excess moisture from cheese and ranch dressing.
Drizzle buffalo sauce and ranch after baking to preserve their flavor and prevent them from burning.

Substitutions

Ground turkey → Ground chicken (1:1 ratio, slightly leaner)
Mozzarella + cheddar blend → Any melting cheese blend or provolone (note: adjust seasoning if using sharp varieties)
Ranch dressing → Ranch seasoning mixed with Greek yogurt (note: same flavor profile, slightly less liquid)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the fridge up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F for 5–8 minutes until warmed through.

Common Questions

How do you make the chicken crust crispy?

Press the seasoned ground chicken mixture firmly into a greased baking dish or pizza pan and bake at high heat (typically 400°F+) until the edges brown and pull slightly from the pan, about 15–20 minutes before adding toppings.
