Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe — Quick and Easy

buffalo chicken pizza

I love buffalo chicken dishes whether they’re wings, casseroles, salads, and especially if it’s a buffalo chicken pizza. The combo of chicken, hot sauce, celery, and blue cheese is absolutely perfect, and a buffalo chicken pizza can be prepared super quick, especially if you’re lazy like me and skip the making a pizza crust part. I prefer flat bread for a pizza crust. If you’ve got leftover chicken and you’re the kinda person who likes hot wings with blue cheese, then you’ll probably enjoy this buffalo chicken pizza recipe.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe Ingredients

I won’t suggest specific amounts…it’ll all depend on the size of your pizza!
FLAT BREAD (pita bread, etc.)
leftover CHICKEN (cooked, chopped)
HOT SAUCE (whatever)
BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (good kind…don’t be cheap)
BLUE CHEESE CRUMBLES (crumbled)
CELERY (chopped)
MOZZARELLA CHEESE (shredded)

Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipe Directions

As far as the amounts of ingredients goes…just follow your heart. I suggest going heavy on the toppings. A lot of celery doesn’t sound fun, but the overall contrast of tastes and textures is what makes this pizza delicious, so use lots of everything–including hot sauce–the hotter the better! The dairy in the blue cheese chunks and dressing will balance the heat.

Chop up some cooked chicken–use leftovers or just cook up a breast or two for topping. I like nice chicken chunks, about ½” square–but shred it if you like–it’s your pizza, man.

Drench the chopped chicken in hot sauce and set aside.

Chop up celery into ¼” thick pieces.

In a bowl combine a nice blue cheese dressing with blue cheese crumbles, about a 50/50 mixture. The result should be the consistency of a cottage cheese.

If you wanna make a pizza dough from scratch, God bless you. CG does, and it’s nice. I’m too lazy, and I actually prefer flat bread. I like pita bread–or any kind of flat bread. I’ve never tried naan, but it sounds good to me.

Spread the blue cheese dressing/crumbles over the flat bread. Spread it thick and even, almost to the edge–leave about a ¼” for a crust.

Generously top pizza with the hot sauce chicken chunks and celery, and cover with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Place on an ungreased baking sheet and cook in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the flat bread are crisped to your liking. You can check here for current prices for baking sheets on Amazon. And that’s it! Hope you like the pizza!

Pizza Sauce and quick flatbread pizza recipe

pita pizza

You can make a delicious pita pizza with homemade pizza sauce super fast. Flatbread pizza is cheap, and healthier than store-bought pizza, and Movie Night wouldn’t be Movie Night without it. It’s easy to make and easy to clean up and tastes great, so that’s perfect, right?

Pizza Sauce Recipe Ingredients:

1 15oz can TOMATO SAUCE
2-3 Tbsp dried OREGANO
1 Tbsp dried BASIL
2 tsp dried THYME
2 tsp GARLIC POWDER (more if you love garlic)
SALT and PEPPER to taste (also, a little dried jalapeño can give the sauce a nice kick)

–The sauce you make at home will be tastier than the sauce you buy in the jar at the store; you can make it your own, add the herbs you like, as much or as little as you like.

PITA BREAD – Any kind of pita or flatbread will do, we use whole wheat. Rubbing olive oil around the edges of the pita will make a tasty edge (I like it that way!), but it isn’t necessary to do so. One pita makes a nice personal pizza size. For two people, we usually make 4 or 5 assorted pita pizzas, cut them in half, and have a mini-buffet.

TOPPINGS?…there’s no end to the possibilities. Pita pizzas are a great way to experiment with topping ideas.

Pour tomato sauce into a bowl and add oregano, thyme, basil, and garlic powder (salt and pepper can be added if desired…but check can to see if tomato sauce is already salted). For sauce with a kick, add some dried jalapeño. Mix ingredients well.

Rub olive oil around the edges of your pita for a tasty crust (optional). Spread sauce over pitas and then add toppings. It’s usually a good idea to start with a little cheese on the bottom and end with more cheese on the top –what goes in between is up to you (leftovers in the fridge often make great pizza toppings! Ever have a meatloaf pizza?).

Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes (this is a good cooking time if you like to pile on the toppings…for faster cooking, bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes…it’s quicker, but quicker isn’t always better)

Pizza Topping Ideas:

Chef Buck loves –
SPINACH (this topping should go on first, so it doesn’t dry out), FETA CHEESE, TOMATO SLICES, MOZARELLA CHEESE, and extra HERB topping.
Camera Girl loves –
MOZZARELLA CHEESE, RED PEPPERS, ARTICHOKES, PEPPERONI, and FAKE SAUSAGE.

ARTICHOKE is a great topping (just keep a can in the cabinet). SHRIMP makes a nice change-up. And trying different CHEESES is always a good idea. HAVARTI and RICOTTA are two cheeses we use often—they can bring a fresh taste to the PEPPERONI blues.
Keep a jar of PIZZA SAUCE in the fridge and some PITAS in the freezer and dinner is always only moments away.

Give this simple pizza sauce and pita pizza idea a try and let me know what you think, and bon appétit!
