Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza with Kraft Fresh Take

This Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza Recipe was created as part of a sponsored campaign for Collective Bias and Kraft.

Pizza.  I love it, but y’all know that by now.  I love everything about it- creating the dough from scratch and watching it rise, dicing vegetables, and seeing the cheese melt through the oven door.  When I’m feeling up to it (meaning not pregnant and swollen) I try to have pizza night at least once a week.  Our normal night consists of a loaded supreme pizza for the adults and a pepperoni & cheese version for the little ones.  Lately, I’ve started experimenting with different flavors including a Mexican style and then this fabulous Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza recipe.  Justin and I usually eat dinner out on Saturday night, but I spent a little time cooking this up and he gave it two thumbs up!

Since I wasn’t sure how to give the chicken the taste I was after, I decided to try the new Kraft Fresh Take mix and the Italian Parmesan flavor was perfect for what I had in mind.  The Kraft Fresh Take made the chicken preparation and cooking a breeze.  All I had to do was put the chicken pieces in the bag, zip it closed, toss them around, then put ’em on a baking sheet and into the oven they went.  I cooked over 2lbs of chicken with one mix and had more than I needed for the pizza so we snacked away on the Italian Parmesan baked chicken strips while waiting for the pizza to finish.  I’ll definitely be picking it up again for quick dinners for the family as well as trying to new recipes.  There are several flavors available for both beef and chicken, so lots of possibilities!
