Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Sauce
- 3 cooked chicken breasts, diced
- 1 2-ounce bottle hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Toppings and Base
- 1 8-ounce bottle blue cheese salad dressing
- 1 16-inch prepared pizza crust
- 1 8-ounce package shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Buffalo Chicken: In a bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken breasts, hot sauce, and melted butter. Toss well until the chicken is evenly coated with the buffalo sauce.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure a crispy crust and properly melted cheese.
- Assemble the Pizza: Place the prepared pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the blue cheese salad dressing evenly over the crust as the sauce base. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the dressing. Top the pizza with the buffalo chicken mixture evenly distributed.
- Bake the Pizza: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute blue cheese salad dressing with ranch dressing if preferred.
- For extra heat, add more hot sauce or sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes on top.
- Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust.
- Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
