Instructions
Creating your Sheet Pan Buffalo Chicken Pizza is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool.
3. Shred Chicken: Once the chicken has cooled, shred it using two forks or chop it into small pieces.
4. Mix Chicken with Sauce: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce. Ensure the chicken is well coated.
5. Prepare Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to fit a large sheet pan. Transfer the dough to the greased sheet pan.
6. Pre-bake Crust: Bake the dough in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it starts to set but not browned.
7. Add Chicken and Cheese: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and add crumbled blue cheese if desired.
8. Bake Again: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
9. Garnish: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh herbs if using. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into squares or slices and serve hot.
