4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
2 tbsp Sour Cream
2 cups Shredded Cooked Chicke
6 strips Crispy Bacon (crumbled)
1/2 cup Buffalo Sauce
3–4 Fresh Jalapeños (sliced into rounds)
1.5 cups Shredded Mozzarella
1/2 cup Shredded Sharp Cheddar
1/4 cup Blue Cheese crumbles (optional)
Fresh Chives or Green Onions (for garnish)
Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it inside while the oven heats up
- Mix the softened cream cheese with the sour cream in a small bowl
- Toss the shredded chicken in the buffalo sauce until coated
- Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface or parchment paper to a 12-inch circle
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust
- Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly over the pizza
- Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top
- Layer the jalapeño rounds and crumbled bacon on top of the cheese
- Slide the pizza into the hot oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh chives and drizzle ranch dressing
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot
Notes
Use room-temperature dough for best stretching.
Ensure cream cheese is very soft to avoid tearing the dough.
Precook bacon until very crispy to avoid sogginess.
Let the pizza rest for at least three minutes before slicing.
