Equipment

  • Pizza Stone or Pizza Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 prepared pizza crust or 1 pound of pizza dough*
  • 2½ cups shredded cooked chicken **
  • ½ cup Buffalo hot sauce plus more, for serving
  • ⅓ cup ranch dressing plus more, for serving
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉. Once heated, place the pizza stone or pan in the oven to preheat.
  • Place the pizza crust on a large piece of parchment paper. (If the crust is still in dough form, roll out the dough.)

  • Remove the pizza pan or stone from the oven. Slide the pizza onto the pan and bake for 10-15 minutes; until the cheese is melted and bubbly, the crust is crispy on the outside, and dough is cooked through.

Notes

*Any type of pizza crust will work, including pre-baked pizza crust, pre-made refrigerated pizza dough, homemade pizza dough, or cauliflower pizza crust. Cook time will vary depending on the type of crust you use.
**Shredded chicken is my favorite for pizza, but a store-bought rotisserie chicken also works well. You can also cook 2 large chicken breasts in a slow cooker or use any leftover cooked chicken that you have on hand.
Tips:
  • You can use a pizza stone, pizza pan, or a large baking sheet/sheet pan. If baking a pre-made/partially-baked pizza crust directly on the rack, I recommend setting a pan on the rack beneath it. 
  • Fully preheating the oven and the pan will help ensure even cooking and crispy crust.
  • Using parchment paper helps with transferring the pizza to and from the pan. You can bake directly on parchment paper.
  • Additional pizza topping ideas: diced green bell pepper, red onion, or diced celery.
Storage: Store buffalo chicken pizza in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months.
