Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cooked and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (less if you don't want it as spicy)
  • 1 cup ranch dressing
  • 1 (16 inch) prepared pizza crust (Or make your favorite crust recipe, if so you probably need to bake longer)
  • 1 8 ounce package shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the cubed chicken, melted butter and hot sauce. Mix well. Spread dressing over crust, then top with chicken mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
