Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made ball or 12-inch crust Pizza dough
- 8 ounces Vegetarian chicken strips
- 0.5 cup Buffalo sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.5 small, diced Green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup Ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to preheat.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and cook the vegetarian chicken strips for about 5 minutes, until they start to brown. Add the buffalo sauce and cook for another 2-3 minutes until well coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
On a clean surface, sprinkle a little cornmeal to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of additional buffalo sauce (if desired) over the base of the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a border for the crust.
Arrange the buffalo-flavored vegetarian chicken strips evenly over the cheese.
Add the sliced red onion and diced green bell pepper over the pizza.
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the top for seasoning.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Drizzle ranch dressing over the pizza in a crisscross pattern.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before slicing and serving.
