Ingredients
  

For the Buffalo Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce divided (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
For the Pizza
  • 1 store-bought pizza dough 14-16 oz, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce remaining from chicken
  • 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese low-moisture, part-skim
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese optional
  • 1/4 cup red onion thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro or parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 1 tbsp cornmeal for dusting (optional, for crispier crust)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Baking Sheet or Pizza Stone
  • Oven
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Prepare the Buffalo Chicken
  1. Pat chicken cubes dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned.
  3. Remove skillet from heat. Add 1/4 cup of the Buffalo wing sauce to the cooked chicken, tossing to coat completely. Set aside.
Assemble the Pizza
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
  2. On a lightly floured or cornmeal-dusted surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or directly onto the preheated pizza stone.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup Buffalo wing sauce and the ranch or blue cheese dressing. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.
  4. Sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken cubes and thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the crumbled blue cheese (if using) over the toppings.
Bake the Pizza
  1. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  2. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
  3. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley before serving.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, preheat a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven while preparing the pizza. You can also make your own pizza dough or use pre-made crusts for quicker assembly. Adjust the amount of Buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.
