Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza. My husband is counting the days until the pigskins start flying. In other words, the countdown to college football has begun. To prepare for the big game, I’m starting to plan the food. Since pizza is always a hit, I created this Buffalo Chicken Jalapeño Popper Pizza, adapted from Bakeaholic Mama.
It is also a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. Plus pizzas are so quick and easy to make at home and often taste better than delivery. This one has a lot of bold flavors in it, including buffalo wing sauce, ranch dressing, bacon, jalapeños, and blue cheese. You may never have a pizza delivered again!
- 1 package of your favorite pizza dough
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 package ranch dressing and seasoning mix
- 2 cups shredded, cooked rotisserie chicken
- 4 strips of bacon, cooked, chopped
- 2 jalapeños, seeded and chopped (adjust according to taste)
- 1 tablespoon(ish) hot pepper sauce
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon(ish) hot pepper sauce
- ¼ cup ranch dressing
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Stretch dough onto your pizza pan or cookie sheet.
- In a small bowl mix cream cheese and ranch dressing seasoning mix; and spread onto pizza dough.
- In another small bowl toss cooked chicken with 1-2 tablespoons of hot sauce. Spread the chicken over the top of the pizza.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese on top of the pizza. Spread the chopped bacon, jalapeños and blue cheese evenly over the pizza. Drizzle the hot sauce over the top of the pizza; and next drizzle the ranch dressing over the pizza.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the sides are golden brown and the cheeses have melted.
