Ingredients
For the Pizza Base
- 1 pre-made pizza crust (or homemade)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
For the Topping
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce, plus more for garnish
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
For Garnish
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion
- 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Heat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the pizza crust on a pizza pan or sheet pan, preparing it for toppings.
- Spread Ranch Dressing: Evenly spread the ranch dressing across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges to avoid spills and ensure crisp crust edges.
- Add First Cheese Layer: Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the ranch-coated crust to create a flavorful cheesy base.
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken: In a small bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken with buffalo sauce until the chicken is well coated. Spread this mixture in a single, even layer over the cheese.
- Top with Remaining Cheese and Onions: Add the remaining shredded cheeses on top of the buffalo chicken, then scatter the thinly sliced red onions evenly over the cheese.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the crust edges turn golden brown.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven. Drizzle additional buffalo sauce on top, then garnish with sliced green onions and crumbled blue cheese. Slice and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
