Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Buffalo Chicken Topping

  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce (Frank’s recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 ounces chicken breast, shredded

Cheeses & Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 ounces; gorgonzola used, feta optional for milder taste)
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Place oven rack in the upper third and preheat to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly dust with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Buffalo Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and chili powder until fully combined, creating a flavorful sauce base for the chicken.
  3. Coat Chicken: Add shredded chicken breast to the sauce and toss well until every piece is evenly coated with the spicy buffalo mixture.
  4. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into an 11×14-inch rectangle. Be gentle to maintain the dough’s elasticity.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Transfer the rolled dough to the prepared baking sheet. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 3/4-inch border around the edges untouched for the crust.
  6. Add Cheese and Onions: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled blue cheese, and thinly sliced red onion evenly on top of the chicken layer.
  7. Bake Pizza: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is crisp, golden, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with thinly sliced green onions. Slice into portions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use whole wheat dough for added fiber and a nuttier flavor.
  • To reduce heat, swap out buffalo sauce for a mild wing sauce or adjust chili powder accordingly.
  • Gorgonzola provides a robust blue cheese flavor, but feta can be used for a creamier, milder option.
  • If fresh buffalo sauce is unavailable, a mix of hot sauce and butter works well as a substitute.
  • Leftover pizza can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for best texture.
