Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cans chunk chicken breast in water (drained and shredded)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
For the Sauce:
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons dry ranch mix (look for a sugar-free version to stay true to the carnivore diet)
For the Toppings:
- 6 ounces shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1.5 ounces sugar-free uncured bacon (crispy, crumbled)
- 4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Drain the chicken: Open the cans of chunk chicken breast, drain out the water, and use a fork to shred the chicken into small pieces. This will form the base of your pizza crust.
- Combine crust ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the shredded chicken, eggs, and shredded mozzarella. Stir everything together until fully combined into a dough-like consistency.
- Form the crust: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Transfer the chicken mixture onto the baking sheet and press it down with your hands or a spatula to form a pizza crust, making sure it’s even across the surface.
- Bake the crust: Place the crust into the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and firm. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
- Prepare the sauce: While the crust is baking, place the softened cream cheese, heavy cream, and dry ranch mix into a medium-sized bowl. Using a whisk or hand mixer, blend until smooth and creamy. The ranch seasoning will give the sauce that classic, tangy flavor, and the cream cheese will provide a rich and creamy texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
- Layer the sauce: Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Spread the ranch cream cheese sauce evenly over the crust, making sure to cover it entirely.
- Add the toppings: First, sprinkle the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly across the pizza. Then, scatter the crumbled bacon over the top. Finally, add the shredded Monterey Jack cheese for that melty, gooey finish.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza
- Bake the pizza: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
- Slice the pizza into 8 even pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, savory flavors of the carnivore Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza.
