Buffalo Pizza

Less messy than buffalo wings, and it lets you use up other parts of the big beast which usually go to waste.

2 packages Jiffy pizza crust mix
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2 to 1-inch cubes
1 cup of your favorite hot wings sauce
8 ounces blue cheese dressing
3 ounces blue cheese crumbles
8 ounces shredded mozzarella

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Grease a 14- to 16-inch pizza pan; set aside.

Follow package directions for pizza crust, using 1 cup hot tap water to 2 packages of pizza crust.

While crust is resting, saute cubed breasts in 1/2 cup of wing sauce until chicken is tender and cooked completely through; remove from pan and let cool.

Knead and shape pizza crust, patting to fit and building up a larger edge that will hold fillings on pizza. Bake crust 2 to 3 minutes to set; remove. Spread blue cheese dressing over entire crust. Sprinkle with half of the blue cheese crumbles. Drain chicken and arrange evenly over crust. Drizzle remaining hot wing sauce over all. Top pizza with mozzarella. Sprinkle remaining blue cheese over mozzarella.

Place filled pizza pan on larger pan, or shape aluminum foil underneath pan to collect any drippings and prevent seeping into oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until crust is golden brown.
