Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Green onion, thinly sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded chicken with 1/2 cup of buffalo sauce. Mix until the chicken is fully coated.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Cut the dough into 3-inch squares using a knife or pizza cutter. You should get about 12-16 squares, depending on the size of your dough.
- Place a small spoonful of the buffalo chicken mixture in the center of each square. Add a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese and blue cheese crumbles on top.
- Carefully fold each square into a ball, pinching the edges together to seal the filling inside.
- Place the pizza bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of melted butter with 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Brush the tops of each bite with the garlic butter for extra flavor.
- Bake the bites for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
[‘Don’t overfill the dough to avoid ripping.’, ‘Pinch the edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.’, ‘Use cold dough for easier handling.’, ‘Adjust the spice level by using mild buffalo sauce or mixing it with ranch dressing.’, ‘Prepare the bites ahead of time and refrigerate uncooked for up to 24 hours.’]
