- ¾ cup water (or more as needed)

Instructions
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Season the chicken breasts with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
-
Prepare the Dough:
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle or oval shape.
-
Assemble the Chicken Bake:
- Spread ½ cup of creamy Caesar dressing over the center of the rolled-out dough.
- Layer the chopped chicken, crumbled bacon, and sliced green onions over the dressing.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded Italian cheese and ¼ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
-
Fold and Seal:
- Carefully fold the dough over the filling to form a sealed wrap, pinching the edges to secure the filling inside.
-
Prepare for Baking:
- Place the prepared chicken bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and shredded Italian cheese on top of the chicken bake.
-
Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve:
- Let the chicken bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust the Sauce: Feel free to add more Caesar dressing if you like a creamier filling.
- Optional Toppings: Add extra toppings like spinach, mushrooms, or roasted peppers for variety.
- Dough Tip: If you have time, let the dough rise for 10-15 minutes before rolling it out for extra fluffiness.
