However, if you are looking for the specific measurements of each ingredient, scroll down to the bottom of this article, just above the comments, for the printable recipe card, which includes all the ingredients and the specific amounts of each one.

• Pizza Dough – You can use store-bought pizza dough from the grocery store or your homemade pizza dough recipe.
• Cream Cheese
• Ranch Dressing – I used creamy ranch dressing. However, If you prefer, you could use blue cheese dressing instead.
• Chicken – Use shredded chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken breast.
• Bacon – You’ll want to use good quality bacon that makes nice crispy bacon on the pizza.
• Jalapenos – If you don’t want to use spicy jalapenos, you could use jarred jalapeño slices, bell peppers, such as red and green peppers, or green onions instead.
• Buffalo Sauce – Use a spicy buffalo sauce, like Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.
• Cheddar Cheese
• Mozzarella Cheese – I used shredded Mozzarella, but you could also use fresh mozzarella
• Bleu Cheese – Use a good quality bleu cheese to be crumbled on top.

How To Make Buffalo Chicken Pizza

1. Stretch dough onto your pizza pan or cookie sheet.
2. In a small bowl, add cream cheese and ranch seasoning mix.
3. Mix the cream cheese and ranch dressing seasoning mix together.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the pizza dough.
5. Toss cooked chicken with 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce in another small bowl.
6. Spread the chicken over the top of the pizza.
7. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the pizza.
8. Spread the chopped bacon evenly over the top of the pizza.
9. Next, spread the chopped jalapeños and blue cheese evenly over the pizza.
10. Drizzle the hot sauce over the top of the pizza.
11. Next, drizzle the ranch dressing over the pizza.
12. Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Recipe Tips

• Less Spicy – To make the jalapenos less spicy, be sure to remove the seeds from the jalapenos. The seeds make the jalapenos spicy. Therefore, removing them makes the jalapenos less spicy.
• Additional Toppings – You can add additional toppings if you wish, such as sliced red onion, chopped black olives, or chopped green peppers.
• Drizzle – If you like, drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the pizza.

Variations

• Mushroom Buffalo Chicken Pizza – Add portobello mushrooms or any type of mushrooms.
• BBQ Chicken Pizza – Instead of Buffalo Chicken, you could use BBQ chicken instead with your favorite barbecue sauce.

What To Serve With Pizza

• Chopped Vegetable Salad
• Air Fryer Honey Hot Wings – Chicken Wings with a delicious sauce.
• Cheese Focaccia Bread
