Company! and Buffalo Chicken Pizzas


Jillie Bean came over for dinner. (We love company!)


I let her pick from three recipes, and she chose Buffalo Chicken Pizzas- one of our favorites! Andrew was very happy and said she might even be invited again. He gives this dish a 5 out of 5. Even though I didn't ask. That's the last thing I need- Andrew rating my recipes every night. (Hear that, sucker? :P)

Buffalo sauce is big in our house, as I am sure you will gather over time by the number of buffalo-ed meals we have. (I think Andrew believes hot sauce is one of the four food groups. You know, cheese, hot sauce, beer, meat.)
Ken's wing sauce makes my life a lot easier. Yes, I can use regular hot sauce and doctor it up with butter, etc, but Ken's is all ready to go, and I usually buy a million bottles when it goes on sale for 2/$3.

Once, when I was feeling very ambitious, I made homemade whole wheat pizza dough for this recipe. (That's the other picture you see here.) It was really good, but not worth the extra effort really. Beside, english muffins hold up to the toppings very well. I usually try to buy the low fat e. muffins from Stop&Shop, but Pathmark had the double pack of Thomas' for 1.99, so there you go. So much for low-fat.

This recipe is a litle annoying because I don't really measure anything any more, so bear with me, and if you give it a go, use more or less of whatever you like more or less of.

Buffalo Chicken English Muffin Pizzas

What you need:
  • english muffins
  • cooked chicken breast, chopped into very small pieces (it does not matter how you cook the chicken)
  • blue cheese dressing (we prefer Wishbone Fat Free, when we are being good)
  • Ken's Buffalo Wing Sauce (The perfect amount of kick for us. May be a bit too much for those with a very low tolerance for "spicy")
  • shredded mozzarella cheese (yay cheese)
  1. Toast english muffins until lightly brown.
  2. Spread about 1 teaspoon of blue cheese dressing over each e. muffin.
  3. Toss chicken with Ken's Wing Sauce
  4. Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of chicken onto each e. muffin.
  5. Top each muffing with a good amount of mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and topping is hot.
  7. Pig out.
We like to have these with extra blue cheese dressing on the side, and a green salad.
