Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- 1.5 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.5 cup Buffalo wing sauce
- 0.25 cup ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for rolling dough)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up if using one.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the store-bought pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
In a bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of Buffalo wing sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of Buffalo wing sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Drizzle the ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing over the sauce in a thin, spiral pattern.
Distribute the coated chicken evenly across the sauced dough.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken, ensuring the toppings are evenly covered.
If using, sprinkle the crumbled blue cheese over the mozzarella for extra flavor.
Using the parchment paper for assistance, transfer the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for a fresh garnish.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve!
