# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken
02 -
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce
03 -
1/4 cup ranch dressing
04 -
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
05 -
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
06 -
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
# Steps:
01 -
Toss shredded cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce until evenly coated. Let it rest to absorb the flavors.
02 -
Combine ranch dressing with the remaining 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce until smooth and uniform.
03 -
Lightly flour your working surface and roll the pizza dough into a 12x15 inch rectangle. Let it rest for 5 minutes if it shrinks back, then roll again.
04 -
Spread the buffalo-ranch mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Distribute the coated chicken evenly on top, then sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
05 -
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly like a burrito. Pinch the seam and ends to seal.
06 -
Place the roll seam-side down on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Optionally brush with olive oil for browning. Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped.
07 -
Let the roll rest for at least 5 minutes to set the filling. Use a sharp serrated knife and slice gently.
# Tips:
01 -
Perfect for repurposing leftover chicken and pizza dough. Kid-friendly spice level and freezes well unbaked.
