Ingredients
Pizzas
- 4 Tbsp.
salted butter
- 2/3 cup
Buffalo-style hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 1/4 tsp.
garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp.
onion powder
- 4 cups
shredded rotisserie chicken, skin removed
- 1
loaf soft French bread, halved lengthwise and cut crosswise into thirds
- 2 cups
shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4
small red onion, thinly sliced
Salad
Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tsp.
kosher salt
Black pepper, to taste
Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup
olive oil
- 3
celery stalks, thinly sliced, plus 2 cups celery leaves
- 2 cups
thinly sliced romaine lettuce
- 1
carrot, grated
- 3 Tbsp.
crumbled blue cheese
Directions
For the pizzas:
- Step 1Preheat the oven to 425˚. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the hot sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook until the sauce starts to bubble around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step 2Combine the chicken with all but ¼ cup of the hot sauce mixture in a large bowl and toss until completely coated.
- Step 3Place the bread cut-side up on a baking sheet. Brush with the remaining ¼ cup sauce. Sprinkle with half of the mozzarella, then top with the chicken mixture, remaining mozzarella and red onion. Bake until the edges of the
bread are toasted and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
For the salad:
- Step 1Whisk the lemon juice, salt, a few grinds of black pepper and the cayenne in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly. Add the celery and celery leaves, romaine and carrot and toss. Gently stir in the blue cheese. Serve with the pizzas.
