Buffalo Chicken Pizza
October 11, 2018
One night my kids and my nephew were over. It was very late at night and they were hanging out in the kitchen. I went to bed and woke up at midnight to a heated argument between my daughter and her boyfriend. It was very loud and seemed rather intense. In the morning when I woke up I asked my husband what on EARTH WERE THEY FIGHTING ABOUT!? He said it was about Buffalo Chicken Pizza. Seriously? My daughter thinks that it's a ridiculous idea, but it's one of her boyfriend's favorites. I promptly went to the market and bought a bottle of Franks Hot Red Sauce and some chicken, threw it in the instant pot and shredded it up. We were planning a Big Green Egg pizza grilling night, so I added it to the menu. It turns out, it was one of the best pizzas of the night! It was topped off with some ranch dressing and sliced celery. They vetoed the blue cheese!

Then remove the chicken breasts and place on a cutting board. Using 2 forks, shred the chicken. Add shredded chicken back to the pot with the buffalo sauce mixture; stir to coat.
