Instructions
Making Buffalo Chicken Pizza is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Shred Chicken: Once cool, shred the chicken using two forks or your hands and toss it in Buffalo sauce.
4. Prepare Pizza Crust: If using a pre-made crust, follow the package directions. If making your own, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
5. Assemble Pizza: Spread a thin layer of Buffalo sauce over the pizza crust. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken on top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Add Blue Cheese: If desired, sprinkle blue cheese crumbles over the pizza for an extra kick.
7. Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
8. Drizzle with Ranch: Once out of the oven, drizzle ranch dressing over the pizza for added flavor.
9. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro or green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
10. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes, then slice it into wedges.
