Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
- 1/3 cup buffalo wing sauce

- 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat oven and prepare pizza stone: Preheat oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Shape and prepare pizza dough: On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the edges with olive oil.
- Coat chicken with buffalo sauce: In a medium bowl, toss cooked chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
- Spread creamy base sauce: Spread ranch or blue cheese dressing evenly over pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Layer toppings: Scatter buffalo chicken evenly over sauce. Top with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Add red onion slices and blue cheese crumbles if desired.
- Bake until golden and bubbly: Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
- Finish and serve: Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
