Pan-Seared Ranch Chicken
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fresh pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing
- 1 to 1½ cups pizza sauce (or pesto, white sauce, or garlic oil)
- 3 to 3½ cups shredded mozzarella (or blend with provolone/fontina)
- Toppings of choice (see ideas below)
- Cornmeal or flour (for dusting)
Kid Favorites:
- Cheese only
- Turkey pepperoni
- Pesto + mozzarella
Grown-Up Combos:
- Prosciutto + arugula + Parmesan
- Ricotta + grilled zucchini + lemon zest
- Fig jam + parmesan cheese + caramelized onion + arugula
Directions:
- Remove from fridge 30–60 minutes before grilling. Room temp dough is easier to stretch and shape.
- Set to medium-high (about 450°F). Brush grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Divide into 6 individual pizzas or 2–3 large ones. Stretch into desired shapes on a floured surface. Lightly brush both sides with olive oil.
- Place dough directly on grill grates. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and the underside is golden. Flip and grill another 1–2 minutes.
- Remove crusts from grill. Spread sauce on the grilled side, add cheese and toppings. Return to grill over indirect heat, close lid, and cook 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Slice and serve hot with a side of Italian salad.
