This Buffalo Chicken pizza from Sandra Lee was so yummy! With grilled chicken strips marinated in buffalo sauce, cooled off by blue cheese and celery, it isn't exactly like the Cape Cod creation, but I loved the crunch and coolness that the celery added. Celery on a pizza - yes it sounds crazy, but is actually terrific - even my hubby who was a bit skeptical agrees. I made homemade pizza dough for this pizza and will post that recipe next.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
From Sandra Lee
Ingredients
1 pound chicken tenders, cut into small strips
1 cup buffalo wing sauce plus 2 tablespoons
Pizza dough (Sandra recommends a 13.8 ounce can of refrigerated dough. I made my own)
1 cup blue cheese dressing (This is where I made a mistake and bough blue cheese crumbles instead. Still turned out great!)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 small red onion, sliced
1 cup celery (2 stalks), diced
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Carefully unroll dough and place on prepared baking sheet. Press out dough with clean hands to form a 13 X 9 inch rectangle. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 7 minutes or until crust begins to brown. Meanwhile place chicken strips in a large bowl with 1 cup of the buffalo sauce. Toss to coat the chicken. Grill the chicken strips for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
Remove crust from oven and top with blue cheese dressing leaving a 1 inch border. (Since I bought the crumbles instead of the dressing I just sprinkled the dough with the crumbles and drizzled a little olive oil and buffalo sauce over the cheese as the base). Next top with the chicken strips, red onion, and celery. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce.
Cover with mozzarella cheese. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown and cheese has melted.
**I made my pizza indoors, but you can also make it on the grill. If you want the directions for the grilled version, click on the link (Sandra's name) above.

I'm intrigued by the celery! At my house we make pizza pretty much every Friday, so I'll definitely put this on the list of things to try! -Meredith @ A Busy Nest
