Ingredients
  

Dough & Filling
  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough 13.8 oz
  • 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
  • 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese grated
  • 0.5 cup mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
Toppings & Glaze
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 0.25 cup ranch dressing for drizzling
  • 2 tbsp green onions chopped
  • 2 tbsp crispy fried onions for garnish

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  3. Fold in the shredded chicken, cheddar, and mozzarella until well combined.
  4. Unroll the pizza dough and cut it into 8 equal squares.
  5. Place 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken filling into the center of each dough square.
  6. Pull the edges of the dough up over the filling and pinch tightly to seal. Roll into a smooth ball.
  7. Place buns seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with a mixture of melted butter and dried parsley.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool slightly, then drizzle with ranch dressing and top with green onions and crispy fried onions before serving.

Notes

Ensure your dough seams are pinched very tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking. Serve with extra buffalo sauce on the side for dipping.
