Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 0.5 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 0.5 cup, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped scallions (green onions)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the chicken breasts with 1/2 cup ranch dressing. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set grilled chicken aside to cool slightly, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or the temperature recommended for baking pizza on your chosen pizza dough package.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza stone with the cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over the buttered dough as the pizza base.
Top the pizza with diced grilled chicken, blue cheese crumbles, shredded mozzarella, and thinly sliced red onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with chopped scallions for an extra pop of flavor.
Let the pizza rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the bold and tangy flavors!
