Of all the buffalo things I've made, I have never once made buffalo chicken pizza. Until this past weekend. I mean, what is wrong with me? Right behind the iconic buffalo wing, I'm pretty sure the pizza version comes in second place.
It wasn't until I cleaning up breakfast messes on Saturday, already thinking about lunch (yes, us moms always have the next meal in mind...) that I thought, well the kids will be having some homemade chicken tenders, so why don't I toss some of them into some wing sauce and make a pizza?
Yes, please!
I also had a container of bleu cheese crumbles in the fridge, waiting to be sandwiched into bleu cheese burgers, but this pizza came first.
Thank god, as Saturday was a long day with the munchkins and I was needing a slice of pure, sinful pizza. It hit the spot.
Not to mention, the homemade crust. Please don't be scared of homemade crust people. It comes together in 5 minutes and only has to rise for another 45 minutes.
It gave me time to - wipe messy mouths, change a diaper, fill sippy cups, break up a toy fight, throw in a load of laundry and even....even....pick up random outside toys that were scattered about the back lawn making us look like the Beverly Hillbillies.
I'm the queen of multi-tasking.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza (makes one good-sized individual pizza)
{Printable Recipe}
pizza crust
2 chicken tenders
1/4 c. buffalo wing sauce
1/4 c. ranch dressing
1 c. cheese (combo of bleu cheese, cheddar, mozz and parm)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, preheat that as well (that will give you a crispy crust!) Prepare pizza dough as directed. If using fresh dough, stretch with flour to individual size. Lay on hot stone. In a small bowl combine wing sauce and chicken tenders, set aside. Spread on ranch dressing, 3/4 c. of the cheese, wing-sauced chicken tenders and remaining cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Gosh, I'm drooling again just looking at this photo. Drool. Drip. Wipe.
