This Buffalo Chicken Pizza combines the zesty kick of buffalo sauce with tender chicken and creamy mozzarella. Perfect for a fun dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
- 18–20 ounces pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 (8 oz) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes (fully cooked)
- 6–7 slices fresh mozzarella (about 8 oz)
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- Fresh sliced jalapeños (optional, for extra heat)
- 1/3 cup flour (for crust)
- Pinch of salt
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C) and place a pizza stone in the oven to preheat for 1 hour.
- Cook the Chicken: In a small skillet, cook the chicken cubes on medium heat with a little oil until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and drizzle 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce over the chicken, stirring to coat. Set aside.
- Prepare the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the dough.
- Assemble the Pizza: Lightly dust a pizza peel with flour to prevent sticking and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it. Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border for the crust. Add the cooked buffalo chicken, slices of fresh mozzarella, and top with thinly sliced red onions. If desired, add sliced jalapeños for extra heat.
- Bake: Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For an extra crispy crust, make sure to preheat the pizza stone for at least an hour.
- You can make the pizza milder by reducing the amount of buffalo sauce or adding extra ranch/blue cheese drizzle on top after baking.
