Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450° F. If you have a pizza stone, put it in the oven while it preheats for more even cooking and a browner, crisper crust.
- Combine the shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and 1 tablespoon of blue cheese. Let the chicken marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
- Spread the dough onto a lightly greased, 12-inch pizza pan (or stone). Poke holes in it with a fork to prevent the crust from bubbling up in the oven.
- Top with pizza sauce, then with most of the mozzarella. Add the chicken, onions, and banana peppers, then the remaining mozzarella.
- Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of blue cheese, along with 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce.
- Bake for 13 minutes and remove from the oven.
- Combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush it over the crust of the pizza and return it to the oven.
- Bake for 2-3 more minutes, or until the crust begins to brown.
- Garnish with green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve!
Notes
Pro Tips: I highly recommend Marie's Chunky Blue Cheese dressing for this recipe. Ranch can be used instead of blue cheese if preferred. I use Franks Buffalo Sauce for this recipe. Low Moisture Whole Milk mozzarella shredded from a block is definitely best for this recipe, it melts very well.
