Prep Time: 25 Min
Total Time: 1 Hr 10 Min
Makes: 32 appetizers

INGREDIENTS
2cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 2 cans (8 oz each) Pillsbury® Crescent Recipe Creations® refrigerated seamless dough sheet
6oz cream cheese, softened
1/2cup Caesar dressing
1 1/2cups shredded romaine lettuce
3/4cup coarsely chopped broccoli
1/2cup finely chopped cooked chicken
1/2cup shredded carrot
2tablespoons chopped cooked bacon
3tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

1Heat 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).
2Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
3In 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.
4Serve 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.
