Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 1 to 1.5 cups pre-cooked chicken breast or thighs, shredded or chopped
- ½ cup Buffalo hot sauce
Dough and Cheese
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade), about 12 inches in diameter
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
Toppings and Finishing
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling or dipping (about ¼ cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Shred or chop your pre-cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss them generously with Buffalo hot sauce until evenly coated.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, gently roll your pizza dough into a 12-inch diameter circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Assemble the Pizza: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough. Spread the Buffalo-coated chicken over the cheese, then scatter blue cheese crumbles on top.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the pizza from the oven and top with chopped green onions or chives. Drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the pizza immediately before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time and keep it tender during baking.
- Do not overload with sauce or cheese to prevent a soggy crust.
- Preheat oven thoroughly for a crispy crust and melted cheese.
- Experiment with dough thickness depending on preferred crust texture.
- Brush crust edges with butter or garlic oil for extra flavor and color.
