Buffalo Chicken Pizza


In my experience, getting a buffalo chicken pizza results in getting a regular pizza, with chicken as a topping, and some buffalo sauce drizzled on top.  In my opinion, this is really leaving a lot on the table, as it's failing to truly incorporate  that heat.  So why not attempt to bring it fully into the recipe?

Ingredients:

1 Pizza Crust
2 Chicken Breasts
Frank's Buffalo Sauce
Italian Seasoning
1 bag Mozzarella Cheese

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350
Chop Chicken in Chunks
Fry in a pan with oil and Italian Seasonings
Spread a layer of buffalo sauce over the pizza crust
Add chicken to the pizza
Top with cheese
Bake for 20 minutes


This initially didn't turn out great.  The buffalo sauce was too thin, the cheese wasn't firmly enough anchored, and the chicken was way too big.  Luckily, the pizza crust I bought came in packs of 2, and I bought an excessively large bottle of buffalo sauce.  So I opted to give it another shot.  I mixed the buffalo sauce with some bleu cheese dressing to thicken it up, cut the chicken finer, and made sure that the cheese went past the sauce to the crust itself.  These alterations allowed it to hold together considerably better.
