What is buffalo chicken pizza?

The best buffalo pizza starts with a homemade pizza crust, topped with a creamy layer of blue cheese dressing or homemade ranch dressing, and layered with chicken, fresh mozzarella cheese, and buffalo sauce, with crumbles of blue cheese on top!

Is buffalo chicken pizza unhealthy?

Not if you make it homemade! This way you are saving yourself from consuming the preservatives, additives, and sugars found in take-out pizza. Making the dough and the sauces is very easy, and it bakes up in no time!

Who has the healthiest pizza?

With all of the components of this buffalo chicken pizza recipe made from scratch, you can’t get any simpler or healthier than this in homemade pizza!

Why is my pizza soggy in the middle?

You may have used too much sauce for the thickness of your crust – remember a thinner crust only needs a thin layer of sauce. Or steam may have gotten trapped under the middle of the pizza – that’s why I like using a pizza stone or a pizza pan with ridges, which helps the steam escape and results in a perfectly crispy crust.

Ingredients

Scale

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare the pizza dough as directed.
Bake one chicken breast in the pre-heating oven for 25-20 minutes.
Set the chicken aside to cool and bump up the oven to the highest temperature you can.
When the dough has doubled in size, shape into your favorite pizza shape.
Chop the cooked chicken breast into pieces and toss with 2-3 Tbsp of buffalo sauce.
Smear a thin to medium layer of homemade dressing on your pizza crust and top with fresh mozzarella and the chicken.
Drizzle a little bit of extra hot sauce on top of the pie before you place it in the oven.
Bake until the cheese is nice and bubbly, 4-7 minutes.
Allow to cool for 2-4 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This is the pizza stone we use. It’s worked well for many years!
If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can use baking sheets or a pizza pan. There’s no need to preheat them.
Chicken breast does not tend to be the most frugal option. Feel free to use 1-2 cups of cooked shredded chicken if you prefer. Just remember to keep your toppings appropriate to the thickness of your crust.
We use a pizza peel to take our pizza in and out of the oven. And this cutting board works great when we’re ready to slice and serve.
Allow the pizza to cool for 2-4 minutes before slicing (this awesome pizza cutter eliminates the issue of slices without cheese!).
You can top the finished pizza with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or chopped green onions for a bit of color and flavor.
Follow the same methods to make BBQ chicken pizza! Simply swap the buffalo sauce for BBQ sauce and add cheddar cheese instead of blue cheese on top.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
