Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Buffalo chicken pizza combines crispy crust with tender buffalo chicken, melted cheese, and optional blue cheese crumbles for a delicious twist on a classic dish.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded (use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
  • ½ cup Buffalo sauce (adjust based on your heat preference)
  • 1 ½ cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded (can substitute with a blend of cheeses)
  • ½ cup Blue cheese crumbles (optional, adds strong flavor if desired)
  • Ranch dressing or extra buffalo sauce for drizzling (as needed, enhances the flavor profile)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven according to your pizza dough instructions.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired size.
  3. Mix the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce in a bowl until well-coated.
  4. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
  5. Add shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with blue cheese crumbles if using.
  6. Bake in the oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch dressing or extra buffalo sauce before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use a pizza stone for an extra crispy crust by preheating it in the oven before placing your pizza on it. For added flavor, marinate the chicken in buffalo sauce for at least an hour before mixing.
