Sometimes, miracles happen. In this case, it’s called buffalo chicken pizza. Oh lordy. It’s easy to finish this is one sitting (or maybe that’s just me?), but you should probably share with a friend or two.
I used Pillsbury’s Pizza Crust for the first time and was very impressed with how easy it was to roll out onto my baking pan. There was no tossing, stretching, or pulling. The dough didn’t stick together and I didn’t have to worry about punching holes through it with my claw like fingers. Simply unroll the dough and add on your desired toppings.
Frank’s buffalo sauce has always been around in our kitchen for every kind of meat, vegetable, or bread that you can imagine. My DF likes to douse it on practically everything. When you mix buffalo sauce, chicken, and pizza together, you’ve got my DF’s favorite foods in one dish. It’s a dinner that he’s guaranteed to love.
You basically just heat up chicken with hot sauce over the stovetop, let it cook together for a bit, and then throw it on top of your dough.
Add a little cheese.
And some chopped onions for color (and health).
And throw it into the oven to let it melt together.
Rectangle pizzas are far superior than circle pizzas. You get more manageable slices and extra crust on four pieces. That’s what I’m talking about!
It also reminds me of elementary school because we always got our class party pizzas from Little Caesar’s. I never ate that brand of pizza at home, so it was a treat every single time. Little pieces for my 6 year old hands. I was ecstatic to have a pizza slice that I could comfortable hold way back in the day.
I’m all about the edges and my DF prefers the middle… Another reason why we’re just two peas in a pod. Are you more of a crust or middle kind of pizza eater?
Recipe from Inspired Taste. Remember.. you have to cook the pizza dough for a bit prior to adding all of the toppings!
