Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¾ cup buffalo hot sauce like Frank’s Red Hot
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked chicken, diced
  • 1 ½ cups cottage cheese
  • ¾ cup ranch dressing
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided
  • 16 ounces pizza dough purchased or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ small purple onion cut into rounds
  • ⅓ cup Bleu cheese crumbled
  • ¼ cup celery with leaves chopped
  • ¼ cup green onion sliced
  • ¼ cup avocado diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F. Allow the pizza dough to come to room temperature.
  • Make the Buffalo Chicken: Melt the butter in a medium bowl. Stir in the hot sauce and set aside 2 tablespoons for drizzling later. Toss the diced chicken in the remaining sauce and set aside. (Feel free to sneak a bite—I won’t tell!)
  • Prepare the White Sauce: In a food processor or blender, purée the cottage cheese, ranch dressing, salt, and ½ cup of the mozzarella until smooth. Give it a taste; it’s divine.
  • Assemble the Pizza: Brush a 10x15x1-inch sheet pan with olive oil to help brown the crust. Stretch the dough to fit the pan evenly. Spread the cottage cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Add Toppings: Distribute the buffalo chicken evenly. Artfully arrange the onion slices on top, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, and finish with crumbled bleu cheese.
  • Bake: Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes.
  • Finish & Serve: Sprinkle the baked pizza with green onion, celery, and diced avocado. Summon your inner Jackson Pollack and drizzle with reserved hot sauce.Slice, serve, and take a bow!
