Equipment
- 24 mini-muffin pan
Ingredients
- 1 Pizza Crust
- 2 TBSP of Buffalo Sauce I use Frank’s
- 1 TBSP of Blue Cheese or Ranch Dressing
- 1 cup of cooked Chicken Tenders – diced
- 1 cup of shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ½ cup of shredded Cheddar Cheese
- ¼ cup of shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Corn Meal
- Green onions to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a bowl mix together the buffalo sauce and blue cheese or ranch dressing until combined and set aside.
- In another bowl, toss the shredded cheeses together so that they are evenly distributed and set aside.
- Sprinkle corn meal in each the 24 min-muffin holes. The corn meal will help the dough form a crispy crust while baking.
- On your counter, sprinkle down some corn meal and roll out your pizza crust. You want to roll out your dough so that it’s large enough to cut out 24 2-inch circles or squares. It should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- I use a 2-inch biscuit cutter to cut circles for my bites. You can also use a pizza cutter to cut out 2 inch squares. Once you cut the dough it may try to shrink in size, just give it a little tug around the edges to stretch it back out. Place in the mini muffin pan.
- If you’re using a biscuit cutter, to have enough dough, make sure keep your cuts as close together as possible, they can even be touching.
- Fill in the entire muffin pan.
- Fill in each cup with the buffalo sauce mixture, you will want to fill it about 1/3 up (approx. 1/4 tsp).
- Fill each cup with your cooked diced chicken tenders.
- Top with your cheese mixture.
- Bake at 350F for 25 minutes.
- Top with thinly sliced green onions and enjoy!
Notes
I recommend using a chicken tender that has a crispy breading on the outside for a better crunch bite. For one cup it’s usually 3 regular size tenders.
You can also make 1/2 (12 bites) with blue cheese dressing and 1/2 (12 bites) with ranch dressing to please a crowd. The ratio of buffalo sauce to dressing should be 2:1 so you would do 1 TBSP of buffalo sauce to 1/2 TBSP of blue cheese or ranch dressing.
