Onion as an ingredient...wow...where to start? I had this same dilemma with cheese. I had family and friends email me recipes, I had a few family ones I was thinking about, but decided on this KICKIN' BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA. I watched Sandra Lee make this on an episode of Semi-Homemade and decided to try it. The hubby and I both loved it. I wrapped some up, took it to my neighbor's house, rang the doorbell and RAN! Her husband came home today from Iraq for a 2 week R & R. I didn't want to bother them, but everyone needs to eat!

INGREDIENTS

• Pillsbury refrigerated pizza crust
• 2 pkgs of Tyson pre-cooked grilled chicken strips
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce of your choice (I used Texas Pete)
• 1 cup ranch dressing or bleu cheese dressing (I used Ranch)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery, about 2 stalks
• 1/4 red onion sliced into really thin rings and then cut in half

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees
• Roll out pizza dough on greased baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes
• While that's cooking, mix the chicken with the buffalo sauce and heat in the microwave for 1 minute
  
• After the dough cooks for 5 minutes, spread ranch/bleu cheese dressing on the dough
• Next, sprinkle on the mozzarella
• Top with the celery, onions, and chicken
• Put it back in the oven for about 10 more minutes or longer depending on how crispy you like the crust

Here are all of the ingredients. I had to make Ranch dressing from sour cream due to food allergies...that's not plain sour cream!
Here's what it looks like before I put it back in the oven.

Look at that cheesy, chickeny, spicy, kickin' pizza!!!
