Ingredients

  • 1 package (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough ensure it is free from any non-permissible ingredients
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast shredded or finely chopped (use chicken prepared without any non-permissible additives)
  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce choose a brand without any alcohol or non-permissible ingredients
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika optional, for extra flavor
  • Celery sticks and ranch or yogurt-based dip for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, mixing well until the chicken is fully coated. Set this aside to let the flavors meld.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 12x10 inches in size.
  • Evenly spread the buffalo chicken mixture over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken.
  • Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, similar to a cinnamon roll. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal slices.
  • Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika if using.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Allow the pizza bites to cool slightly before serving. Pair them with celery sticks and your favorite dip for a classic buffalo experience. Enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh chicken for best flavor. Adjust heat by varying buffalo sauce amount. Cheese types can be swapped for variety. Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking. Store leftovers in airtight container refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in oven for best texture.
