Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza

We are big fans around here of Papa Murphy's - Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, so we decided to try and find a recipe that mimicks it and this one comes pretty close.

I am a big fan of Trader Joe's refridgerated Pizza Dough - I buy 5 or so at a time, freeze and then thaw out whenever we make a homeade pizza.

Pizza dough

Topping 
2 cups cooked chicken breast halves (chopped)
8 slices cooked bacon (cut up)
1/4 cup red onion (chopped)
2 cups Mozzerella Cheese (shredded)
1 cup tomatoes (chopped)
Pizza Sauce
1/3-1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/4 cup butter 
1 1/2 ounces cream cheese
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream 
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese 
Salt and black pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 500.  Place Pizza Stone in oven and let it warm up for atleast 30 minutes.  Meanwhile, roll out pizza dough onto your pizza dough and prepare sauce
In saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Mix in the cream cheese and stir until melted. Stir in the cream and garlic powder. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat and simmer, stirring often. If sauce seems too thin, sprinkle in some flour 1 teaspoon at a time. Cook and stir for desired consistency. Stir in the parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.

Spread your ranch dressing on your dough first, next spread your alfredo sauce on the dough.

Sprinkle half of your mozzarella cheese on the pizza. Add your shredded chicken, bacon, tomatoes and chopped onion. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake at 500 on the bottom rack of oven for 10 - 12 minutes or until crust appears done on the bottom.
