Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups shredded chicken
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (plus more to drizzle on top)
- ¼ cup blue cheese dressing (divided; can sub 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 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese (grated)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Chives/Green Onions
- Red Pepper Flakes
- Parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F. Note: If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven while it preheats for more even cooking and a browner, crisper crust.
- Combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and 1 tablespoon of blue cheese. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Spread the dough onto a lightly greased, 12-inch pizza pan (or stone). Poke holes in it with a fork to prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
- Top with pizza sauce, then with most of the mozzarella. Add the chicken, onions, and banana peppers, then the remaining mozzarella.
- Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of blue cheese, along with 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce.
- Bake for 13 minutes and remove from the oven.
- Combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush it over the crust of the pizza and return it to the oven.
- Bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.
- Garnish with green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve!
Notes
- For a spicier pizza, add more buffalo sauce.
- Feel free to substitute chicken with tofu for a vegetarian option.
