Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza
A crisp, garlicky pizza topped with shredded chicken, melted mozzarella and a fresh Caesar salad — crunchy romaine, croutons and shaved Parmesan finish it off.
Ingredients
Pizza
- 1 lb pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- ½ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 cup cooked chicken shredded or sliced
Caesar Salad Topping
- 4 cups romaine lettuce thinly sliced
- ¼ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup croutons lightly crushed
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges optional
Optional
- Parmesan crisps or shaved Parmesan
- Anchovies chopped
- Red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat. Roll or stretch pizza dough to a 12-inch circle.
- Brush dough with olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic around the edge for a garlicky crust.
- Top with mozzarella, chicken and grated Parmesan. Transfer to heated stone or baking sheet and bake 10–12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- While pizza bakes, toss romaine with Caesar dressing, starting with a small amount to avoid overdressing. Crush croutons slightly.
- Remove pizza from oven and let rest 1–2 minutes. Pile dressed romaine on top, sprinkle croutons and shaved Parmesan, add black pepper and a squeeze of lemon. Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- Add anchovies if you want a classic Caesar bite.
- To keep salad crisp, dress the lettuce just before serving.
