Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll both cans of the dough; separate into 4 long rectangles (if using dough sheets, cut into total of 4 long rectangles). Place rectangles in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan. Press in bottom and up sides to form crust (if using crescent roll dough, firmly press perforations to seal).
  • 2 Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • 3 In small bowl, mix cream cheese and 1/4 cup of the dressing. Spread over cooled crust. Top with lettuce, broccoli, chicken, carrot, bacon and Parmesan cheese. Gently press into cream cheese. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup dressing.
  • 4 Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving. To serve, cut into squares.

Expert Tips

You can't please all the people all the time, but you certainly have a good shot at pleasing more people with this pizza that can be tailored to fit finicky tastes. Still not convinced? Go half and half--prepare one flavor on one half of a 15x10-inch rectangle of dough and choose a different version for the other half. It's twice the flavors and half the work!

--Substitute shredded spinach for the romaine lettuce, chopped unpeeled red apple for the broccoli and chopped walnuts for the carrot.

--Substitute ranch dressing for the Caesar dressing, chopped yellow or orange bell pepper for the broccoli and chopped plum (Roma) tomatoes for the carrots.

Absolutely yummy! I omitted the Caesar dressing and doubled the cream cheese instead. I added a pkg of dry Italian seasoning mix to the cream cheese and spread that on. Great appie!

I make this type pizza with an already prepared pizza shell but I'll have to make sure to have crescent rolls in my frig to make your recipe.

Comment only! Why is it you do not include the "Comments" you add on the regular recipe page DIRECTIONS to your printable recipe page? Isn't this a part of the recipe? Are you short of help? I prefer to copy all my recipes to a word document so as to have ALL my recipes in one location and not have to go to a particular web site to find them! My Word Document of choice is Openoffice.org. Their word processor is much more effecient than others I've used.

I made this recipe for a baby shower and it was a hit. I left off the broccoli. It was gone before the baby shower ended. It was so simple to make. Everyone was asking for the recipe. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this for a work party! So easy. I left off the chicken and it was a big hit! I have no culinary skill and this was a breeze!
