Since salad doesn’t stay fresh more than 1 day, I suggest making that part fresh and topping the chicken crust with it when you’d like to enjoy it.

Substitutions, optional variations & dietary adjustments

If you try something different out, please leave a comment below letting us all know how it turned out!

Canned chicken – We’re using cooked chicken to keep this recipe super simple, but you could use raw ground chicken as well. The moisture content will be vastly different, so watch the bake time and cook it until your crust is cooked well.

Parmesan cheese – Romano cheese is a good alternative for Parmesan cheese. You could also use mozzarella cheese in place of parmesan when mixing the pizza crust.

Romaine lettuce – Try making the Caesar salad with kale in place of crunchy romaine!
