Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. If using fresh Pizza Dough, roll out the dough on a floured surface in the shape of a disc and place on a baking tray, pizza tray, or pizza stone. I used a Stonefire flatbread for this recipe, which saves time. Brush the Olive Oil around the edges of the pie.

Step 2

Prepare the Chicken: place the chicken in an Instant Pot with 1 cup of Water or Chicken Broth and set it to Meat/Poultry for 15 minutes. Once finished cooking, allow depressurizing for 5 minutes. Remove from pot and shred using two forks. See notes for other chicken cooking options. Toss the chicken with the Tabasco Sauce to coat evenly.

Step 3

Tear the Mozzarella into pieces or slice and layer randomly on the pizza dough. Top with the prepared buffalo chicken, and sprinkle the red onion slices on top. Season with Black Pepper. Cook for 19 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust edges have browned.
