Instructions
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bake
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve a perfectly golden crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup of buffalo sauce and the ranch dressing. Stir until well mixed.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the buffalo sauce mixture evenly across the dough. Layer the chicken mixture on top, then sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses generously.
Carefully roll the dough from one edge to the other, sealing tightly by pinching the ends.
Position the rolled bake seam-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly.
Let cool for 5-10 minutes, slice, and serve with your favorite dips.
Notes
Use rotisserie chicken for convenience and customize the spice level according to your preference. Refrigerate leftover portions for later enjoyment.
