A woman's hand is pouring a creamy white dressing with visible black specks from a clear glass jug onto two round crisply textured golden-brown flatbreads arranged one behind the other on a wooden board.

Ingredients

20 oz canned chicken (drained)

1 egg

2/3 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 cloves garlic (minced)

Salt and pepper (to taste)

9 oz bag of romaine hearts (roughly chopped)

2 tablespoons parmesan (grated, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: In a food processor, combine the drained canned chicken, egg, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until well combined.

Step 3: Spread the chicken mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in two even piles. Shape each pile into a thin, even layer resembling a pizza crust.

Step 4: Bake the chicken crusts for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy around the edges.

Step 5: Remove the chicken crusts from the oven and let them cool slightly while you prepare the Caesar dressing and salad.

Step 6: In a food processor or small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7: Toss the roughly chopped romaine hearts with the Caesar dressing in a large bowl until evenly coated.

Step 8: Spread the dressed romaine salad evenly over each cooled chicken crust.

Step 9: Garnish with additional grated parmesan cheese.

Step 10: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.

Step 11: Enjoy your Chicken Crust Caesar Salad Pizza with its crispy, flavorful crust and fresh, tangy topping!

Tips & Variations

Use fresh grated parmesan for the best flavor and melting texture.

Add anchovy paste to the dressing for a more authentic Caesar taste.

For a spicier crust, increase crushed red pepper flakes or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Try topping with cherry tomatoes or crispy bacon for extra texture and flavor.

If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the chicken and mix ingredients by hand, though the texture will be slightly different.

FAQs

Can I use cooked chicken instead of canned chicken?
