Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 store-bought pizza dough, room temperature (halved; you can save/freeze the other half, but one skillet only needs half of typical pizza dough)
⅓ cup SideDish Chipotle Ranch, plus extra for drizzling
4 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
2 ounces extra sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
1 cup diced rotisserie chicken
4 pieces cooked bacon crumbled
1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced
½ cup thinly sliced red onion

Method

Set your oven to 500℉. While your oven preheats, place your empty cast iron skillet in the oven for 20 min.
While the oven is preheating, use your hands to press dough out into an 8×8 or 10×10 inch circle (depending on the size of your cast iron, mine is 10-inch).
After 20 minutes, very carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Use paper towels to coat the pan with oil. Be extra careful during this process as the pan will be very hot.
Using hands or rolling pin, carefully transfer dough to the hot skillet. Make sure the dough + roller are floured well to avoid the dough from sticking. Carefully form dough into a circle to fit the pan. A crust will naturally rise on its own.
Spread SideDish Chipotle Ranch evenly over dough. Sprinkle with mozzarella and white cheddar then top with the diced chicken, bacon, jalapeño, and red onion. Transfer to oven and bake uncovered for 10 to 12 minutes; the crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbling.
Remove from oven and let cool in skillet for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer the pizza to a cutting board (it should slide off easily). Allow to cool out of skillet for another 5 minutes. Drizzle with more SideDish Chipotle Ranch, slice, serve, and enjoy!
