Ingredients
1 (11-ounce) can Pillsbury thin pizza crust
3/4 cup tomato sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 tablespoons buffalo hot sauce, divided
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, optional
Directions
Preheat your oven to 450°F. In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of the buffalo hot sauce. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is blended and warm.
Stir the shredded chicken into the sauce mixture until evenly coated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean work surface. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of buffalo hot sauce onto the center of the dough and knead it into the dough with your hands until the sauce is completely incorporated throughout.
Transfer the dough to a baking sheet that has been sprayed lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Using your hands or a rolling pin, gently stretch and shape the dough to fit the baking sheet evenly.
Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the buffalo chicken mixture, spreading it in an even layer. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust edges are golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped chives if desired, then slice and serve.
