Take your game day meal to the next level with a buffalo chicken pizza layered with creamy ranch dressing and three types of melty cheese.
ingredient
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- ½ cup buffalo sauce
- olive oil, for brushing
- 2 teaspoons cornmeal, optional
- ⅓ cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese, mild or sharp
- ⅓ cup crumbled blue cheese
- ¼ cup sliced red onion, ¼" thick
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
Directions
- Preheat the Oven – Set the oven rack to the lowest position and set the temperature to 500ºF (260ºC).
- Warm the Dough – Allow the prepared pizza dough to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Coat the Chicken – In a medium bowl combine the shredded chicken and buffalo sauce. Set aside.
- Oil the Pan – Lightly brush a large baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle cornmeal on the pan, if desired.
- Shape the Dough – On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape the dough into a 10-inch circle—transfer to the baking sheet. Use fingers to press into a 12-inch circle. Leave the edges slightly thicker, about ½-inch tall and wide.Brush some olive oil on the edges to make the crust crispier when baked.
- Add the Toppings – Spread the ranch dressing first, followed by the sauced chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, blue cheese, and onions.
- Bake – Cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Serve – Garnish with extra crumbled blue cheese, green onions, and buffalo sauce. Slice and serve immediately while still hot.
