Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade, for a 12-inch pizza Pizza dough
- 1 cup, shredded or cubed Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1.5 cups, shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup, shredded Cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Green onions
- 2 tablespoons, melted Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
If using pre-made pizza dough, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before shaping. Roll or stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper. Drizzle the olive oil over the surface of the dough, spreading it evenly with a brush or your fingers.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture around the outer edge of the pizza dough to create a flavorful crust.
In another bowl, mix the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup of Buffalo sauce until it’s fully coated.
Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of Buffalo sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving the crust bare.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the Buffalo sauce.
Scatter the coated chicken pieces over the cheese layer, followed by the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for added flavor and freshness.
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Great Buffalo Chicken Pizza!
