Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup Buffalo sauce
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, add water and bring to a simmer. Cook chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), about 15-20 minutes. Shred using two forks.
  3. Combine shredded chicken with Buffalo sauce in a bowl until evenly coated.
  4. Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired shape and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
  5. Spread the Buffalo chicken evenly over the dough, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and add green onions.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Drizzle with ranch dressing before serving.
