Introduction

If you love spicy buffalo wings and pizza, this Buffalo Chicken Pizza is a match made in heaven! The rich, tangy buffalo sauce pairs perfectly with tender chicken, mozzarella, and a crunchy pizza crust. This recipe brings together the best of both worlds in an easy, flavorful dish that’s perfect for game nights, parties, or a fun family dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
• 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced green onions (optional)
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
3. Brush the pizza dough with olive oil, then spread a thin layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing over the crust.
4. In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until it’s well coated. Spread the buffalo chicken evenly over the pizza.
5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the chicken.
6. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle with green onions, crumbled blue cheese, and fresh cilantro, if using.
8. Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade Buffalo Chicken Pizza!
