Buffalo Chicken Pizza

So heres a new pizza recipe for all you Buffalo Chicken fans.  I love coming up with new recipes and this one definitely is one of my favorites. It was so good that I will make 2 pies next time because we wanted more:) Hope you enjoy this simple recipe.

BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA

1st step is preparing your chicken & onions before you can put your pizza together. Cut 3 Chicken breast up into bite sized pieces and melt 1/4 stick of magarine and stir into the chicken.  Add a little garlic and onion salt to your chicken and stir.
Next you want to cook your chicken(now keep in mind you can use canned chicken if you want but I love the taste of real bites of chicken versus the shredded chicken for this particular recipe). I always line my pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking sprays for easy clean up.  Bake in oven on 375 for 25 minutes.

While your chicken is baking go ahead and saute your onions. Slice onions however you prefer you can either dice them or slice them I prefer longer strips so I slice them. Then put on stovetop and cook with butter and season with garlic & lawrys seasoning.(just for a yummy flavor). Cook the onions down until they are nice and sauteed.( I always cook mine a little longer because I love the carmelized taste they get when cooked all the way down).

Remove onions from pan. When Chicken is finished cooking in the oven I like to take it out and put it in my pan on the stovetop to make it a little crisp. Cook on medium  for about 5-8 minutes then remove.
Add your buffalo sauce to you chicken and stir. (You can use whatever buffalo sauce you prefer but I like to use the Franks Red Hot Buffalo sauce. It has just enough kick without being too spicy).
Now your ready to assemble your pie.  Roll you dough out onto your pizza dish. You can also use a bakers pan if you would rather have flatbread style slices. I use the Pillsbury Pizza Crust but once again that is just my preference for ease. Make you own crust or use your favorite.  Bake your crust according to the directions on the can. For my particular recipe this is what I did. Roll your crust out onto pan and bake on 400 for 5 minutes then remove and add your ingredients on top of crust.(this just helps to cook the bottom of your pizza).

To assemble: spread a nice layer of Ranch dressing covering your entire crust.
Then its time to put your yummy toppings on. Add you chicken 1st then layer with your onions, mozzarella & fresh parmesean cheese.

 I will tell you I used about 5 tysons breaded chicken tenders and left off the onions on a fourth of the pizza for my boys liking:)
Bake in oven until Crust is nice and golden. Remove and your ready to serve.

Below is a list of all the ingredients I used so you will have it for your shopping list.

3 Chicken Breast(diced into bitesized pieces)
Franks Red Hot Buffalo Sauce(I only used about 3/4 cup)
1/4 cup of Ranch Dressing
1/4 cup of Parmesean Cheese
1 Cup of Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 of a white peeled onion (sliced or diced)
Pillsbury Pizza Crust
Garlic
Onion Salt
Lawrys Seasoning
