Ultimate Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

For the Pizza:

• 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

• ½ cup Buffalo sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

• ¼ cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for drizzle and base)

• ¼ small red onion, thinly sliced

• Fresh parsley or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

• Optional: crumbled blue cheese for extra tang

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat to 475°F (245°C).
If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for an extra crispy crust.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with Buffalo sauce until well coated.
Set aside.

3. Shape the Dough:

On a floured surface, roll or stretch the pizza dough into a 12–14 inch circle.
Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
Brush the edges with a little olive oil.

4. Assemble the Pizza:

Spread a thin layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing over the dough (this replaces traditional tomato sauce).
Top with a mix of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Add the Buffalo chicken evenly across the pizza.
Scatter red onion slices over the top.

5. Bake:

Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Finish and Garnish:

Remove from the oven and drizzle with extra Buffalo sauce and ranch (or blue cheese dressing).
Sprinkle with chopped parsley, green onions, and crumbled blue cheese, if desired.

Serving Ideas:

• Serve with a side of celery sticks and extra ranch for dipping.

• For extra spice, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce before serving.

Pro Tip:

Want restaurant-style crispness? Pre-bake your crust for 5 minutes, then add toppings and finish baking — perfect every time.
