Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 250 grams all-purpose flour (2 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dry active yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water

Pizza

  • 1 lb shredded chicken (rotisserie or cooked)
  • 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • cup tomato sauce
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, diced into ½" cubes
  • ½ cup blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • sprinkle of cornmeal
  • blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional)

Instructions

Pizza Dough

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Add the water and mix with a wooden spoon or your hands. It should be sticky, but not lumpy.
  • Cover with saran wrap and a towel in a warm place, allowing it to rise for 24 hours. Transfer to a floured surface and shape into ball. Use when ready.

Pizza

  • Place pizza stone in oven 8" from the broiler element and preheat to 500°F. You want stone to be in oven for at least 30 minutes at 500°F.
  • If using chicken breasts, heat medium skillet with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add salt and pepper to chicken and cook on skillet for 4 minutes on each side until completely cooked through and shred. If using rotisserie chicken, just shred and set aside.
  • In a medium skillet, heat butter, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and tomato sauce. Add chicken to sauce and coat. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle pizza peel with cornmeal or flour. Use your hands to gently tug, pull and push the dough to the shape you want and place on pizza peel.
  • Add the chicken and hot sauce mixture, making sure it's evenly spread. Add the mozzarella cheese evenly on top of sauce. Top with the blue cheese and chopped scallions.
  • Once stone is preheated, turn broiler to high. Transfer pizza to pizza stone and bake for 4-5 minutes or until top is bubbly and bottom is golden brown. Top with some blue cheese or ranch dressing. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Take the time to make your own dough. My go-to is this no-knead pizza dough.
  • If you don't want to make your own buffalo sauce, store-bought works fine.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own to save some time.
  • Use a pizza stone so you can broil the pizza and get a nice crust, but bubbly top.
