Ingredients
- 1 lb store-bought pizza dough or homemade, at room temperature
- 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce adjust your spice level to your taste
- 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tbsp ranch or blue cheese dressing
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- chopped green onion for garnish
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F, or to the temperature recommended on your pizza dough package.
- Roll out the pizza dough or flatten the store-bought flatbread on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Place the rolled-out dough or flatbread on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Spread the buffalo wing sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded chicken evenly over the buffalo sauce.
- Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella over the chicken, then scatter the diced red onion and crumbled blue cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the flatbread is crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the Buffalo Chicken Pizza from the oven and drizzle the ranch or blue cheese dressing over the top.
- If desired, garnish with chopped green onions or fresh cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
- Let the flatbread rest for 5 minutes so the cheese sets, then slice and serve while it is warm.

Notes
Keep it crisp: toss the chicken in the buffalo sauce rather than pooling extra sauce on the dough, and bake on the lowest rack so the bottom browns.
Make ahead: shred the chicken and toss it in sauce up to 3 days ahead; store covered in the fridge.
Spice level: use a mild wing sauce for kids, or add a few dashes of hot sauce to the chicken for more heat.
