Ingredients

16 ounces pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
8 ounces chicken breast shredded (use rotisserie or grill a medium breast, size of your palm) (see NOTE)
1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce more or less to taste
1/3 cup ranch dressing
1.5 cups mozzarella cheese can use a mixture of mozzarella/cheddar if desired
2 tbsp blue cheese dressing or crumbles optional for topping
1 tbsp sliced green onions or chives optional for garnish

Instructions

Position your oven rack within 6 to 8 inches of the top of the oven, and preheat your pizza stone for about 1 hour, using the highest setting possible (I use 550 degrees)
In the meantime, take your dough out of the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature on a well floured surface for 30 min to 1 hour.
Toss chicken in bowl with hot sauce so the chicken is well coated but not overly saturated.
Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on both sides of your dough and stretch until it is 14 inches in diameter.
After stretching the dough, place your pizza on a lightly floured pizza peel or a piece of parchment paper, and top with ranch dressing (as you would normally do with pizza sauce)
Sprinkle 1/2 of the hot sauce/chicken mixture on top of the ranch dressing and then top with shredded cheese
Bake the pizza for 4 to 6 minutes on a pizza stone or steel, until the bottom is lightly browned and then top with additional chicken.
Top with blue cheese dressing if desired and green onions and serve immediately.

Notes

NOTE: An easy way to shred freshly cooked chicken is to use a paddle attachment and beat in a standing mixer. 8 ounces of shredded chicken is about 1 cup.
