Caesar Chicken and Veggie Appetizer Pizza

 

Caesar Chicken and Veggie Appetizer Pizza

INGREDIENTS:

2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 

  2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless 

  dough sheet

6 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup Caesar dressing

1 1/2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

3/4 cup coarsely chopped broccoli

1/2 cup finely chopped cooked chicken

1/2 cup shredded carrot

2 tablespoons chopped cooked bacon

3 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

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.

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.
