My Secret Recipe Club assignment for this month is Sarah's blog, Things I Make (for Dinner)! Sarah lives in Canada, is married, and has been blogging since
2012.
I
considered making her Rustic Plum Tart, Baked Egg Boats, Hot Cheese Sandwiches, Volcano Sandwiches, or Spaghetti Carbonara, but I couldn't
resist her Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Believe me when I say this is one yummy pizza! We love homemade pizza
(this was the 4th weekend in a row I've made pizza), but in spite of
loving buffalo chicken, I've neither had nor made buffalo chicken pizza
before. How could I resist it when I found a recipe on Sarah's blog? No regrets, either, because it's delicious! My
husband really enjoyed it, too. It's definitely one I'll make again and
I'd like to use the sauce for other pizzas.
You can really make this pizza your own. The type of pizza crust you use (store bought, homemade thin, pan, whatever) and even the size of the pizza is up to you. The recipe makes a cup of sauce and it was nice and rather thin (but still delicious!) on my large pizza, but you could make a smaller pizza if you want and just have a thicker layer of the amazing sauce. You can also use however much hot sauce, cheese, and green onions you want.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
for sauce:
1 Tbsp butter
pizza dough (2/3 of this recipe works great, just freeze the other 1/3 for later)
2 C shredded or chopped cooked chicken
green onions, sliced
for sauce:
melt
butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and saute
until golden. Add cream cheese, milk, and salt, and whisk until smooth.
for pizza:
Preheat
oven to 450 and grease a large baking pam (I use butter). Press or
roll dough out to fit pan and prick all over with a fork. Spread sauce
over crust, then top evenly with the chicken, cheese, and green onions.
Bake until crust is lightly browned and cheese is melted and bubbly,
about 12-20 minutes.
