Buffalo Chicken Pizza
Buffalo chicken pizza is one of our favorite pizzas! Our annual Super Bowl tradition would not be complete without this buffalo chicken pizza. The ranch base and the creamy heat from the buffalo wing sauce are a heavenly match! Whether you're big on game day or not, this pizza is a must try!
Pizza Dough
You will need a batch of your favorite pizza dough, use store-bought pizza dough or even use naan as your pizza dough.
Chicken
This recipe uses shredded chicken breast. You can prepare some chicken breast and shred for this pizza, use some leftover chicken that you have or even shred some rotisserie chicken.
Sauce
This recipe uses homestyle ranch dressing for the base rather than a traditional pizza sauce. I prefer Renees homestyle ranch because it has a thicker consistency for spreading on the pizza dough and it's packed with flavour. The chicken is also mixed with Buffalo wing sauce so you get that creamy heat with every bite!
