Time 12h30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 large skinless, boneless chicken breast half
2 pinches Montreal steak seasoning, or to taste
⅓ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
2 pieces tandoori naan bread
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
½ cup blue cheese dressing (such as Marie's®), or to taste
2 tablespoons diced red onion
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, or to taste
½ cup shredded iceberg lettuce
1 roma (plum) tomato, seeded and chopped

Steps:

Season chicken breast with Montreal steak seasoning. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour 1/3 cup hot pepper sauce into the bag. Seal bag and rub hot sauce into chicken. Transfer bag to the refrigerator and marinate for 12 hours or overnight.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Remove chicken from the bag and discard marinade. Cook the chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Dice cooled chicken into bite-size pieces. Toss chicken and remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce together in a bowl.
Brush each naan with olive oil; cook on the grill until golden and toasted on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and transfer naan pieces, toasted-side up, to a baking sheet. Spread blue cheese dressing on the toasted side of each naan. Top each with diced chicken and red onion. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over the top.
Return naan to grill and cook until cheese is melted and bottom is toasted and golden, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove from grill, slice into pieces and top with lettuce and tomato.

Categories main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings (2 pizzas)

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Two 8-ounce balls prepared pizza dough, each rolled into a thin circle
2 cups shredded chicken (I use a rotisserie chicken)
1/2 cup Buffalo sauce (or 1/4 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's, mixed with 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter)
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 tablespoon minced chives
Celery leaves, for garnish

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat for indirect grilling.
Place the dough circles on the hot side of the grill. Let cook for 1 minute, then flip with tongs, moving to a cooler spot on the grill (about medium heat) until the dough begins to pull away from the grill, about 1 minute. Remove to a platter or baking sheet.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the Buffalo sauce. Divide the chicken mixture between the 2 grilled crusts and top with equal amounts of mozzarella and blue cheese crumbles. Put the pizzas back on the grill and grill until the cheese melts, just a minute or 2.
Sprinkle with chives and garnish with celery leaves. Cut into fourths and serve.

Tips:

Choose the Right Pizza Dough: For a crispy crust, use a store-bought or homemade pizza dough that is thin and pliable.
Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: To make a flavorful buffalo sauce, combine hot sauce, melted butter, and spices such as garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Grill the Chicken: For tender and juicy chicken, marinate it in a mixture of buffalo sauce, olive oil, and herbs before grilling.
Use Fresh Vegetables: To add a refreshing crunch, use fresh vegetables such as sliced red onions, bell peppers, or celery.
Add Cheese Generously: For a gooey and flavorful pizza, use a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
Cook the Pizza Properly: To achieve a crispy crust and melted cheese, cook the pizza on a preheated grill or in a hot oven until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

The buffalo chicken grilled pizza is a delightful combination of spicy, tangy, and savory flavors that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.
