To say I am enamored with buffalo chicken flavors is an understatement. I have 12 different recipes using this flavor combination for everything from meatballs to a cheeseball. It’s so good!
But recently my son had a frozen pizza that he liked and I thought “hey I can make that”. So I came up with this easy buffalo chicken pizza recipe and I used 2 ingredient pizza dough. If you haven’t tried 2 ingredient dough you must because it’s so easy to make and you don’t have to let the dough rise.
It’s made from just Greek yogurt and self rising flour. All you do is mix, knead and roll it out. It’s my favor homemade pizza dough recipe these days.
I used cooked chicken so the rest of the recipe was a breeze! We loved it and I’m sure you will too. Let’s get to it!
Recipe ingredients I used.
For the pizza crust I used self rising flour and Greek yogurt. You have to use self rising not regular white flour. And it should be thick Greek yogurt not regular yogurt. It should also be plain but the fat content doesn’t really matter.
If you don’t have self-rising flour you can make it.
Use regular all-purpose flour, baking power and salt. The ratios are 1 cup of flour to 1 ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt. (source) It’s much easier to buy it and then you don’t have to do the math!
Now for the sauce. I used a combination of hot sauce, cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, fresh garlic and canned chunks of chicken. I would have used leftover rotisserie chicken if I had some on hand or frozen but I didn’t . The canned worked fine though.
I also used a little gouda cheese on top of the pizza because it’s a very melty and gooey cheese but you can use all cheddar, Mexican blend or even a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar.
How to make buffalo chicken pizza with 2 ingredient dough.
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F and place a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat on a baking sheet.
Step 2: Mix the buffalo pizza sauce by adding the cream cheese, some of the cheddar cheese, hot sauce and garlic in a microwave safe bowl and cook for 30 seconds to soften the cheese. Mix well and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the 2 ingredient pizza crust by mixing adding the Greek yogurt and self rising flour into a large bowl and mixing together with a spoon. Then get in there with your hands and mix the dough until it’s a bit sticky but made into a big smooth ball.
Step 4: Add a little of the flour to a work surface and the knead the dough if necessary. The place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and using a floured rolling pin or just your hands form the pizza crust into a circle on the baking sheet.
I wish I made mine a bit thinner because my family likes a thin, crispy crust pizza.
Step 5: Once you’ve made the pizza crust, spoon and spread the buffalo pizza sauce over the crust. Then add the shredded chicken over the sauce. Lastly sprinkle the cheddar and gouda cheeses over top.
Step 6: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden brown. If after the time its s not browned to your liking place under the broiler for a few minutes.
Note cooking time may vary depending on how thick your crust is.
Let cool before slicing with a pizza cutter and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container. (Please scroll down to view the printable recipe card.)
