🥫 Storage
You can enjoy leftover chicken bacon ranch pizza the next day for a quick on-the-go lunch. It easily reheats in the air fryer, oven, or microwave.
Of course, you can always enjoy it chilled, too. Does cold pizza remind anyone else of their college days?
Refrigerate
Cover leftover pizza slices with plastic wrap, a ziploc bag, or store 'em in an airtight container. Refrigerated, they'll last up to three days.
If you want to reheat your leftover pizza, here's how to get the job done. First, preheat the oven or air fryer to 350 degrees F.
Then, line the air fryer with foil, parchment paper, or with a basket liner for easy cleanup. Cook for 3-5 minutes.
In the oven, simply reheat the pizza on a baking tray or pizza stone for about 10 minutes.
Freeze
Frozen slices of your pizza will last up to three months. No need to worry about thawing the pizza before heating—unless you plan to enjoy your leftover pizza chilled.
Otherwise, it will need just a little more time in the air fryer or oven to thaw and warm up.
📖 Variations
There are so many easy ways to switch up amazing chicken bacon ranch pizza. Experiment with different flavors, or use up what you have in the pantry.
- If you want to get fancy, you can make homemade pizza dough—but no pressure! I prefer easy recipes, too!
- Can't find crescent rolls at the moment? You can buy pre-made pizza dough at popular grocery stores like Aldi or Wal-Mart.
- You can use ground beef in place of chicken, or in addition to it!
- Barbecue chicken works great with this recipe.
- Pancetta is a great substitute for bacon because it has a similar flavor profile. You can use it if you're in the mood for something a lil' fancy.
- The blend of Monterey Jack and Mozzarella cheese gives this pizza the perfect flavor, but you can swap it with another kind. White cheddar cheese or pepper jack would taste good, or, really, any of your favorite varieties.
- For a Mediterranean-style pizza, add a little feta cheese, blue cheese, or goat cheese. They go well with the chicken and ranch flavors!
- Sometimes I'll add a little Italian seasoning or some fresh herbs if I have them on hand. Chives and sliced green onion taste fabulous with bacon and ranch.
- Add some veggies, like green and red bell peppers, red onions, or sliced mushrooms. They add great flavor, and putting them on pizza is a picky-eater-approved way of using up what you've got.
💭 Things to know
Expert Tip: Roma tomatoes are firmer and have less liquid, so they're a great pizza topping. Unlike other kinds, they won't make your slice soggy!
- Use pre-cooked bacon bits or microwave bacon to save prep time.
- Use leftovers or a store-bought rotisserie chicken for quick prep.
- Shred the cheese yourself for the freshest, most authentic flavor, and best melting.
- For a perfectly crispy crust, be sure to bake the crescent rolls before adding the toppings. The dough won't cook as well once you add everything to it.
- Microwaving leftovers? Keep your pizza crust from getting too soft by placing a microwave-safe glass or bowl filled with water next to the slice while heating it up.
👩🍳 FAQs
Yes ma'am! The meat definitely needs to be cooked. This pizza doesn't take much time in the oven, so you can't use any raw meats.
Creamy ranch dressing is like heaven in our house, but if you don't like it, no sweat! You can make my favorite BBQ chicken pizza by swapping the ranch with Sweet Baby Ray's barbecue sauce, or something similar.
Nope! This easy "homemade" pizza crust is made from crescent rolls, so you can bake it on a regular baking sheet. (So, I guess, it's not technically a "homemade" crust, but it's close enough!)
