Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great!)
- ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or pepper jack for extra heat)
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional, for garnish)
For the Bread:
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade dough if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for topping)
For Serving:
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
Instructions
Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, hot sauce, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy. Set aside.
Assemble the Bread:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle (about 12×16 inches).
- Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over one half of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Shape and Bake:
- Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling to create a stuffed bread. Pinch the edges tightly to seal.
- Carefully transfer the stuffed bread to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to cut 3-4 small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
Bake:
- Bake for 20-25 minutes , or until the bread is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Finish and Serve:
- Let the bread cool for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve warm with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
