Ingredients
Scale
Pizza:
- 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnish:
- Chopped green onions or fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Brush the surface with olive oil and place on the prepared pan.
- Prepare the toppings: In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated. Spread the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the dough as the base sauce.
- Assemble the pizza: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on the buffalo chicken, red onions, and remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and drizzle with additional buffalo sauce if desired.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut.
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne.
- This pizza pairs great with celery sticks on the side.
