What is fantastic about these campfire pizzas is that they can be easily prepped ahead at home before you leave for camping — or at your campsite. Whatever works best for you. 

STEP ONE: Prepare your chicken either at home or while camping by placing the bite-sized pieces into a cast-iron skillet and sprinkling the dry ranch seasoning over the chicken. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked completely through. If prepared, place the chicken in a plastic Ziploc or storage container to take with you camping.

STEP TWO: Prepare your fire with either wood or charcoal. Let it burn down until ash gray with moderately hot coals but no big open flames. Prepare your grate to go over the fire by spraying it (away from the fire) with nonstick spray.

STEP THREE: To cook the pizza, start by brushing oil on one side of the naan bread and place the oil side down onto the grate over the fire. Watch carefully until it is golden brown. Remove from the fire. 

STEP FOUR: Brush oil on the non-grilled side of the naan bread. Turn the naan bread over with the oil side down and begin to make your pizza on the grilled side.

STEP FIVE: Spread a bit of bottled ranch dressing for the pizza sauce onto your naan bread.

STEP SIX: Add the cooked chicken, bacon, chopped garlic, red onion, and spinach in the amounts you desire all over the piece of naan. Top the pizza off with cheese.

STEP SEVEN: Place the pizza directly onto the grate over the fire. Watch carefully until it is heated through and the cheese is melting.

STEP EIGHT: When the pizza is done to your liking, use a big spatula to remove the hot pizza to a cutting surface and use your pizza cutter to cut it into the desired number of pieces. Enjoy!

Storing This Camp Pizza

IN THE FRIDGE: Campfire pizza is best eaten right away, hot off the grill. If you have a couple of pieces left over, they would likely keep in an airtight container in your cooler overnight and could be warmed up over the fire the next day or eaten cold.

IN THE FREEZER: Since this recipe is designed to be eaten fresh off the grill, we do not recommend freezing it. This is best made fresh.

Now you can take your weekly pizza night with you the next time you go on a camping trip. Grilled naan bread is the perfect base for these individual-sized pizzas. Add your favorite toppings and cook over the open fire. This campfire pizza will surely hit the spot after a day of enjoying the great outdoors.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1 tablespoon dry ranch dressing, used to flavor the chicken
• 4 naan bread
• ¼ cup vegetable/canola oil
• ½ cup bottled ranch dressing
• 4 to 6 strips bacon, cut into bite-size pieces and cooked
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• ½ cup fresh spinach, cut into thin strips (optional)
• 1 to 2 cups Italian cheese blend

Instructions

 

• Prepare your chicken either at home or while camping by placing the bite-size pieces into a skillet and sprinkling the dry ranch dressing over the chicken. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked completely through. If you prepared it at home, just place the chicken in a plastic Ziploc or storage container to take with you camping.
• Prepare your fire with either wood or charcoal. Let it burn down until ash gray with moderate heat but no big flames. Prepare the grate to go over the fire by spraying it (away from the fire) with nonstick spray.
• Brush oil on one side of the naan bread and place it, oil side down, onto the grate over the fire. Watch carefully until it is golden brown. Remove from the fire.
• Take the grilled naan bread off the grate and brush oil on the non-grilled side. Turn the naan bread over with the oil side down and begin to make your pizza on the grilled side.
• Spread bottled ranch dressing onto your naan bread. Next, add the cooked chicken, bacon, chopped garlic, red onion, and spinach in the amounts you desire all over the piece of naan. Top the pizza off with cheese.
• Place the pizza directly onto the grate over the fire. Watch carefully until it is heated through and the cheese is melting. If your cheese is slow to melt, you can make a “tent” out of a piece of foil and place over the top of the pizza to help the cheese melt more.
• When the pizza is done to your liking, use a big spatula to remove the pizza to a cutting surface and use your pizza cutter to cut into the desired number of pieces. Enjoy!

Notes

• What is fantastic about these campfire pizzas is that they can be easily prepped ahead at home before you leave for camping — or at your campsite. Whatever works best for you. 
• If your cheese is slow to melt you can make a “tent” out of a piece of aluminum foil and place over the top of the pizza to help the cheese melt more.
• The foil side that touches the grate will most likely be a little oily from the nonstick spray or dirty with ash when you remove it, so be careful. Remember anything cooked over the open fire will be hot when removing, grill with care!
