Every since I made the baked potato pizza last week, I have vowed never to order a pizza ever again.
And true to my word, I have made another pizza instead of ordering in.
Enter the Caesar Chicken pizza.
Since I didn’t have any canned tomato sauce, and I obviously didn’t want to leave the house because then I would need to change out of my pajama pants (the horror), I decided to try to work with what I had lying around my kitchen.
And since I have a lot of Caesar salad dressing in my fridge at all times, I tried using this as the sauce for this pizza. And it was the perfect plan. It’s like a Chicken Caesar salad, but on a pizza. What more could you ask for?
What you’ll need:
-1 recipe for pizza dough
-2 boneless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
-1/2 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
-2 cups white cheddar cheese, shredded
-1 tomato, chopped into small cubes
-1/4 cup green onions
Directions:
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken on the skillet for 3-4 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
2. Preheat the oven to 425˚F. If using an unglazed tile, put it in the oven while preheating.
3. Shape the dough into the desired pizza shape. Spread Caesar dressing over the dough, then sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese. Place the tomatoes and the chicken on top, then sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup of cheese.
4. Place the pizza on the already hot tile (or place pizza on a lightly sprayed baking sheet) and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and crust is brown.
I used to visit a pizza store in NY that served a Greek Salad pizza. It was so awesome. The pizza dough had some kind of cheese in it (maybe feta?). That was the best part. There was no tomato sauce or mozzarella cheese. Instead, all the greek salad ingredients were put on top and it was served warm. Yum yum! Your baked potato version sounds good too!
I LOVE pizza! I definitely need to try making my own. I, too, love ordering pizzas online. This looks super delicious! 😀
Your pizza looks incredibly delicious and professional 🙂

My sister loves Caeser salad, and pizza…she needs to try this for sure!!
me too.. I have said to myself that I will always make pizza myself, but sometimes I am just too tired 😀
Your Caesar pizza looks so delicious!
The pizza sounds fantastic. Yum!
What a fun idea for a pizza! I love the flavor of Caesar salad, but have never had it on a pizza. Now I'm really intrigued – this is something I have to try! Thanks for the idea.
Cathleen , I couldn't agree more ! Homemade pizza is better than any other store-bought pizza out there 😀 Your pizza looks absolutely scrumptious ! Love everything in that pizza esp the chicken and caesar salad dressing ….
yum!!! now I am craving this!
Thanks for your visit, Cathleen! Your Cesar chicken Pizza looks so yummy that made me drool…Could you deliver one at my house, please? xx
I usually like a slightly thinner crust, but this one looks quite lovely and chewy. The toppings sound great too. I'll have to make a note next time I make pizza (I've been doing a Naan base these days)
Love homemade pizzas! The crust looks really great.
Looks wonderful!
I'm watching eastenders at the moment, I could definitely do with one of these pizzas to snack on – yum!
All the best love, take care x
chicken caesar pizza? I must be dreaming! caesar salad is my favorite and my fiance's favorite. This is what we need to eat every friday night! Thank you for sharing it! Looks amazing 🙂
I could eat pizza every day of the week (and we almost have been lately)…so I'm very glad to have this fun twist. Thank you for sharing this delicious post. I hope you are having a wonderful week of good food, love, and laughter.
Two of my favorite foods, pizza and caesar salad. Brilliant.
OMG looks so appetizing! Great combo of flavours.
The best part of making your own pizza is that you can be crazy inventive with the toppings. This looks wonderful!
