Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (rotisserie works great)
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the pizza dough package or according to your homemade dough recipe.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness on a lightly floured surface. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and crumbled blue cheese over the chicken.
  6. Arrange the sliced red onion on top of the cheese.
  7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for the time specified on the dough package or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the sliced scallions over the top.
  9. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Notes

Feel free to add other toppings such as diced celery or sliced bell peppers for extra crunch and flavor. You can also adjust the amount of buffalo sauce according to your desired level of spiciness. For a crispy crust, preheat your oven and pizza stone/baking sheet beforehand. Serve this delicious buffalo chicken pizza as a main course alongside a side of fresh salad or crunchy carrot and celery sticks for a complete meal. Enjoy!
