Crockpot Buffalo Chicken and Pizza

 I made this pizza a LONG time ago, and found the recipe the other day. I guess I never blogged about it. I guess I didn't take a picture either...at least, I can't find it. Oh well...better late than never. We love pizza over here, and this one is definitely going into the rotation. It's delicious, and easy.  Perfect.

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

Serves 3-4

1 large bone-in skin-on chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
salt
1 teaspoon oil
1 tablespoon butter
¼ cup Frank’s hot sauce
½ teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
pinch of sugar
pinch of garlic powder
2 ounces (½ cup) mozzarella, shredded
1 ounce (¼ cup) blue cheese, crumbled
¼ cup red onion or scallions, diced very fine
12-16 ounces pizza dough stretched out to 9-12 inches

For the chicken and buffalo sauce: Throw the chicken, butter, sugar, hot sauce, and vinegar in the crockpot. Cook on low for 5 hours or until chicken is done. Shred the chicken with a fork. Keep the sauce. 

For the white sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the  yogurt, mayonnaise, sugar, garlic powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

Assemble the pizza: Spread the white sauce evenly on the pizza dough; top with the chicken, then the cheeses, and finally the onions.
Bake the pizza for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is browned. Let the pizza rest about 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
