FAQs

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

Yes! Shredded rotisserie chicken is a great time-saving option.

What’s the best pizza dough to use?

Both store-bought and homemade pizza dough work well. For a crispier crust, use a thinner dough.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble and refrigerate unbaked, then bake when ready to serve.

How do I keep the dough from getting soggy?

Make sure the chicken and bacon are not too wet, and don’t overload with dressing.

What’s the best cheese for this recipe?

A mix of mozzarella and Parmesan gives the best flavor and meltiness.

Can I use a different sauce?

Yes! Ranch, Alfredo, or pesto all make great alternatives.

How do I make this extra crispy?

Brushing the dough with olive oil before baking helps create a crispy, golden crust.

Can I use crescent roll dough instead of pizza dough?

Yes, but it will have a softer texture. Adjust baking time as needed.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely! Bell peppers, onions, or spinach would be great additions.

What should I serve with this?

A side salad, roasted vegetables, or a light soup pair well with this dish.
