Buffalo Chicken Pizza....yUmMy!!!

It's time for a recipe right???? A sweet friend of mine "Redbird" Amy was emailing me the other day and I asked if she had any good Buffalo Chicken Pizza Recipes because I have been craving one.  She sent me three links to some GREAT websites and I narrowed it down to one.  She is a recipe crazy women!  If you ever need an idea for something to cook, she is your girl!  This is the one I made and below is the link to it.


Sorry my camera isn't very good on my phone but I PROMISE this pizza is AAAAAMAZING!
I will tell you below what I will do next time to change it up.



Ingredients

  • 1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon each garlic salt, pepper and chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Celery sticks and blue cheese salad dressing


Directions

  • Unroll pizza crust into a lightly greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Bake at 400° for 7 minutes. Brush dough with 3 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce. Combine cheddar and mozzarella cheeses; sprinkle a third over the crust. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, cook the chicken, garlic salt, pepper and chili powder in butter until chicken is no longer pink. Add the remaining wing sauce; cook and stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Spoon over cheese. Sprinkle with oregano and remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing. Yield: 8 slices, 4 servings.

    Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.

I highly suggest Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce.  It is very good. If you know of another Buffalo Wing Sauce please comment below.  I would love to try another one but I just love Frank's so much I don't think it can be beat. :-)  They sell one that says HOT on it but I just buy the regular Buffalo Wing Sauce.

The next time I make this pizza I will add blue cheese on the bottom of the crust with the wing sauce.

I used thin crust and it was a great choice but it was a little doughy so next time I will bake the crust a little longer the first time you bake it.

Next time I will cut back on the oregano seasoning.  It was a little strong for me.

This time I added extra cheese.  Great move because it made it extra cheesy. It calls for 1 1/2 cups of each and I put 2 cups of each. If you know Josh then you know he adds cheese to every dish I cook. Let me say it one more time.....JOSH LOVES IS OBSESSED WITH CHEESE!  He will even add cheese to my broccoli and cheese !!! Ha Ha!

Some buffalo chicken recipes call for thin sliced chicken but I really liked the cubed.  

Let me know if you make it and what you think of it. ENJOY!

I NEED YOUR HELP! 
I don't buy Blue Cheese dressing very much because it's not the best for you.  I need everybody that reads this to tell me what brand they buy.  I bought Ken's Steak House Blue Cheese and it was just okay!  Please let me know.  I plan on making this great recipe again so I need to know what kind to buy.
