Equipment

Sheet Pan

Ingredients

13.8- ounce container refrigerated pizza dough
1 cup ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons powdered ranch dip/dressing mix
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/4 cup hot sauce such as Frank’s, or hot sauce of choice
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Chopped fresh chives for serving optional
Bottled ranch dressing for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Unroll the pizza dough on the prepared pan and shape as desired; I chose a 10x12-inch rectangle. Bake for 6 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the ricotta and powdered ranch mix and mix well.
In another bowl, combine the chicken and hot sauce and mix to coat the chicken with the sauce.
Spread the ricotta mixture all over the pre-baked crust, to within 1/2-inch of the edges.
Arrange the chicken over the ricotta and top with the mozzarella.
Bake for 6 to 10 more minutes, until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese melts.
Top with fresh chives (if using) and serve with ranch dressing on the side.
