Description
Delicious homemade buffalo chicken pizza topped with blue cheese and mozzarella, perfect for any pizza night.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups shredded chicken
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (and more to drizzle on top)
- ¼ cup blue cheese dressing (divided or Ranch)
- 1 lb. pizza dough (at room temp)
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup red onions (thinly sliced)
- ¼ cup banana pepper rings (patted dry)
- 1 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp Parmesan cheese (grated)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- to taste Chives/Green Onions
- to taste Red Pepper Flakes
- to taste Parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats for more even cooking and a crispier crust.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and 1 tablespoon of blue cheese. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Spread the pizza dough onto a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan (or onto the heated stone). Use a fork to poke holes in the dough to prevent it from bubbling.
- Layer the pizza with sauce, followed by most of the mozzarella. Add the marinated chicken, sliced onions, and banana peppers, then top with the remaining mozzarella.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of blue cheese and 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce over the pizza.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove it.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the pizza crust and return the pizza to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve!
Notes
- For a spicier pizza, feel free to add more buffalo sauce.
- Can be served with additional blue cheese dressing on the side.
