Mini pizzas topped with homemade ranch dressing, lots of cheese, chicken and of course bacon! These Chicken Bacon Ranch Mini Pizzas are an easy to make and tasty dinner or game day appetizer!
The football playoffs are here! Did your team make it? I’m sure there are plenty of you that love this time of year and then there are those of you who could care less and will be thankful when it’s over. No more weekends consumed with the TV being on all day and images of men throwing the ball then knocking each other over.
I used to be part of that team that couldn’t wait for the season to be over, but now I’m finding myself enjoying watching a game or two on Sunday. It sort of helps when you live in a state with football fever and the man who’s been your favorite player for years is the starring quarterback. You know what else makes football Sunday more fun? When you have awesome game day food like these Chicken Bacon Ranch Mini Pizzas!
Let’s be real people, football is 50% about the sport and 50% about the food. It’s basically an excuse for us to sit around and stuff ourselves with all things small and handheld that taste delicious. You have a lot of options when it comes to game day food and some are better than others. I used to just be happy with chips, but then I discovered there’s a whole other world dedicated to what you should be making and eating while watching the big game.
A little public service announcement if you’re throwing a football party, don’t be that person who only puts out a bowl of chips, a bag of baby carrots and some over-processed gross dip.
No one wants to eat that and they probably won’t come to your next football party. Instead serve up these easy to make and super tasty, Chicken Bacon Ranch Mini Pizzas!
The mini pizzas use Greek yogurt ranch dressing as the sauce. It’s lower in calories than store-bought ranch and If you follow my blog regularly you know that I love anything involving Greek yogurt.
Along with the dressing, these pizzas are topped with lots of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, diced chicken and crispy bacon. Top the pizzas off with a little more of the ranch dressing or just set a bowl of it out and dunk away. These mini pizzas are sure to be a hit at your next football party!
