This recipe bakes up in less than 20 minutes, so it’s a great idea for nights when families don’t have a lot of time to eat together. Plus - the kids can help put on the toppings!

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp butter

1/3 C. red onion, thinly sliced

4 garlic cloves, chopped

1 1/2 C. cooked chicken breast, shredded

1/4 C. Frank’s Red Hot® hot sauce

1 C. pizza sauce

1 12” pizza crust shell

1 1/2 C. mozzarella cheese

1/4 C. ranch dressing

1 Tbsp green onions, chopped

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Once it is melted add the red onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add in the garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Add the chicken and hot sauce to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Spread the pizza sauce over top of pizza crust. Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese then top with the buffalo chicken mixture. Drizzle with ranch dressing. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with green onions.

Note: If you don’t like spicy foods it’s easy to make this a BBQ chicken pizza. Simply substitute BBQ sauce for the ranch dressing and toss the chicken with BBQ sauce instead of hot sauce. Cook as directed.
