Time 12h30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN GRILLED PIZZA

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings (2 pizzas)

Number Of Ingredients 7

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:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will result in the most flavorful pizza.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza. This will prevent the pizza from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pizza on a hot grill. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pizza. The chicken should be cooked through, but not dry.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent the cheese from becoming stringy.

Conclusion:

Grilled buffalo chicken pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, tender chicken, and spicy buffalo sauce, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing meal, give grilled buffalo chicken pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
