Ingredients
1 lb Pizza Dough
1 tbsp Olive Oil

1 small Lemon, for juice and zest
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)

- Spread ½ cup Caesar dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border
- Sprinkle 1½ cups mozzarella cheese, followed by ½ cup Parmesan cheese and distribute the chicken evenly
- Bake for 12-18 minutes until golden brown and cheese is melted
- Toss romaine and croutons with additional Caesar dressing in a bowl
- Remove pizza from the oven, allow to cool for a minute, then spoon the dressed salad mixture over the pizza
- Garnish with extra Parmesan, lemon juice, and parsley or red pepper flakes if desired
- Slice and serve immediately
Notes
Availing room temperature dough before stretching makes it easier to handle.
Preheating the oven is crucial for a crispy crust.
Use freshly grated cheese for best flavor.
