Ingredients

Units
  • Pizza dough (frozen, canned, or homemade)
  • 1-2 tbsp Buffalo Sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • blue cheese or ranch dressing for drizzling
  • 1 small red onion cut in thin strips (or to your liking)

Fried Chicken

  • 1.5 lbs of chicken breast
  • 4 tbsp of flour
  • 20 saltine crackers
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups of vegetable oil (or enough to fill your skillet half-way)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to your pizza dough’s desired temperature.
  2. If rolling dough, roll out and flour.

Fried Chicken

  1. Cube chicken breasts and dry the chicken. This will make frying it so much easier. Place on a plate lined with paper towel and another paper towel on top.
  2. In a cast iron skillet, heat oil on stove on medium high heat until about 275 degrees.
  3. While oil is warming, crush the crackers in a bowl and mix in flour, salt and pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs.
  5. Dip the chicken into the egg and then roll evenly into cracker mixture. Place a few pieces of chicken into the pan and cook for 10 minutes on one side or until the outside is golden brown.
  6. Flip the chicken over and cook 10 minutes on the other side until golden brown. Cook the chicken throughly, making sure it reaches 165 degrees on the inside.
  7. If your chicken needs longer to cook, just make sure to turn the cubes about every 2-3 minutes. After chicken is cooked, place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

Cooking the Pizza

  1. Place the dough (if going our method) right on the oven rack for about 8 minutes or until slightly golden brown. This will create a flatbread-type of dough. Check often for any bubbles and burns.
  2. Remove dough from oven, and prepare your pizza.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine chicken with buffalo sauce.
  4. Layer cheese on your pizza dough.
  5. Place chicken on top, followed by red onion.
  6. Add remainder of the cheese.
  7. Place back in the oven for about 10 minutes or until the dough and cheeses are golden.
  8. Remove and drizzle with some blue cheese or ranch dressing (I prefer ranch on just about anything).
  9. Eat up!
