Chicken Bacon Ranch Garbage Bread

So, the internet here really hates us. Seriously. I have tried to blog about this meal every night since I made it but no...that is apparently not allowed. 

Moving on, I seriously outdid myself this time. The original inspiration for this meal was not that appealing to me. Reason #1, I don't like buffalo chicken. It's just too hot for me. Reason #2, "Garbage Bread" is just not an appealing name. Upon looking at the ingredients needed I quickly realized that I could turn this into Chicken Bacon Ranch Garbage Bread and that my friends is just what I did.

Let me tell you, it was delicious. A bit heavy on the cheese but no so much that it was bad. I'll definitely be making this again, and again, and again.

What you'll need:

• 2 boneless chicken breasts - I didn't pay attention and used 4 and that was way too much...
• 1 tsp-1tbsp olive oil
• 1 pizza dough - I used store bought and let it sit out while I prepared everything else
• 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese - I used fat free & next time I'm using 4 oz
• 3 oz shredded cheddar - next time I'm using 4 oz
• 2/3 cup ranch dressing - I used yogurt based
• 3 strips bacon

What you'll do:

1. Pre-heat the oven to the temperature specified on your pizza dough. Roll the dough out onto a baking sheet to allow it to come to room temperature.
2. While heating the oil in a skillet, dice the chicken breast to bite-size pieces. Cook chicken completely and then allow to cool. 
3. Fry your bacon and then set it aside to cool. Once cooled, break it into small pieces.
4. Using a spatula, spread the ranch dressing onto the pizza dough leaving a one inch border. 
5. Add the chicken and bacon and then top with the cheeses. 
6. Begin to roll up the dough into a log. Be sure to tuck the ends initially to prevent any leakage. 



Lots of extra chicken...

7. Bake according to the directions on your pizza dough. I followed the instructions for "softer crust" but feel free to go with your preference. 

Mmm....gooey! 

This was really good, and my eyes were way to big for my stomach! I couldn't even finish the small section I cut for myself, or my veggies! I am definitely going to be making this again! Hopefully by the next time I can come up with a better name. Suggestions?
