 1 Caulipower Pizza Crust

 ½ cup Frank's Buffalo Sauce
 3 tbsp Tessemaes Ranch Dressing
 1 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
  cup Red onion, thinly sliced
 3 tbsp Green onion, chopped
D I R E C T I O N S //
1

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. While the oven is heating up, get the skinless chicken tenders ready to bake!

Place all the chicken tenders in a baking dish, pour in 1/3 cup buffalo sauce. Make sure each tender is thoroughly coated in the buffalo sauce and then cover the dish with foil. Once the oven is heated, pop them in the oven for 20 minutes to bake.

2

While your chicken bakes, slice up the red onions (cutting the slices in half to make them easier to spread around the pizza) and green onions, measure out the cheese and set all of them aside.

Next, you'll need to pre-bake your cauliflower crust. Depending on which one you have, here's what you need to do to pre-heat:
-For the Caulipower Crust: place on your pizza stone and pop in the oven with the chicken for 5 minutes. It crisps up quick, so 5 minutes should do the trick.
-For the Trader Joe's Cauliflower Crust: this crust requires more pre-baking. You will place this crust on your pizza stone and bake on one side for 10 minutes. Remove and flip the crust carefully, then bake for another 10 minutes.

3

Once the chicken is done baking, remove and cut it up into tiny pieces. I usually slice each tender down the middle lengthwise and then cut across to get tiny chunks. Once it's all cut up, place in a separate bowl and toss with another tablespoon or two of the buffalo sauce.

NOTE: You will just use 2 cups of the cubed buffalo baked chicken, so you can save a couple tenders aside for a salad later in the week!

4

Once all the ingredients are ready, sliced and cooked, it's time to assemble the pizza.

First, layer on the ranch dressing directly onto the crust and smooth around like a pizza sauce. (leave a little room around the edges though!) Then, sprinkle on just a little of the mozzarella cheese, followed by the red onion slices, then the chicken.

Finally, sprinkle on the remaining mozzarella cheese all over the pizza. Sprinkle on the green onions to the top and then pop the whole thing into the oven for 20 minutes. NOTE: if you are using the Trader Joe's Cauliflower crust, you may need to keep it in there for an additional 5 minutes to bake.

5

Once the pizza is done baking, the edges are crisp and the cheese is bubbly, remove it from the oven and drizzle on a little extra layer of buffalo sauce and then slice up and enjoy!
