Diego's Gourmet Chicken Pizza*

In our quest to find meals that represent something new and different, we have been experimenting with pizzas lately. This one was easy to put together, taking a total of about an hour which excludes the amount of time needed for the yeast to prepare the dough. We will definitely have this pizza again!

Ingredients

1 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 1/2 C pizza crust flour (I purchase it in bulk)
2 1/4 tsps dry yeast
1 C water
1/2 cup Ranch-style salad dressing
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped green onions

Directions

1.Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2.Place chicken in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until no longer pink, and juices run clear. Cool, then either shred or chop into small pieces.
3. Mix pizza dough, water, and yeast, let sit for one hour then spread to the edges of a pizza pan, or stone (I use the stone).
4.Spread ranch dressing over the dough. Sprinkle on mozzarella cheese. Place tomatoes, green onion, and chicken on top of mozzarella cheese, then top with Cheddar cheese.
5. Bake at 425 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
