Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken
- 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Cheese and Sauce:
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles (optional)
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cooking surface.
- Thoroughly combine shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with spicy flavor.
- Carefully stretch pizza dough into a rectangular shape, creating a thin, uniform base for the filling.
- Distribute buffalo chicken mixture across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for sealing.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella and blue cheese over the chicken, creating a rich and tangy cheese layer.
- Tightly roll the dough from the long side, creating a compact log with the filling sealed inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds, revealing the spiraled interior.
- Arrange pizza rolls on the prepared baking sheet, maintaining slight separation between each piece.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and dust with garlic powder for added aromatic flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown and cheese becomes bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let cool briefly before serving with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity for milder or spicier rolls.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and added convenience.
- Consider gluten-free pizza dough to make recipe celiac-friendly and inclusive.
- Experiment with alternative cheese blends like cheddar or pepper jack for unique flavor variations.
