Description

Enjoy Buffalo Chicken Garbage Bread—flavorful buffalo chicken, melty cheese, and golden dough. A crowd-pleasing appetizer or hearty main dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced) – This acts as the primary protein source, delivering flavor and texture.
  • 1 tsp olive oil – Used to add a little moisture to the chicken during cooking.
  • 1 pizza dough (homemade or store-bought, thawed) – The base of the dish, providing the necessary structure to enclose all the delicious fillings.
  • 8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese – Adds creaminess and stretchiness, balancing the spiciness of the buffalo sauce.
  • 8 oz shredded cheddar cheese – Introduces a sharp, tangy flavor that complements the other ingredients.
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (divided) – The star of the show, providing the signature spicy kick.
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing – This cooling element mellows the heat and enhances the overall flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it’s hot enough to achieve a perfectly golden crust.
  2. Chicken Mixture: In a bowl, toss 2 cups of cooked chicken (shredded or diced) with 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce. Make sure the chicken is well-coated with the sauce. Then, mix in 1/4 cup of ranch dressing until combined. This mixture will be the heart of your garbage bread.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches. The dough should be thick enough to hold the filling but thin enough to roll easily.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Spread the remaining 1/4 cup of buffalo wing sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, layer the buffalo chicken mixture on the sauce. To finish, sprinkle an even layer of 8 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese and 8 oz of shredded cheddar cheese over the chicken.
  5. Rolling the Dough: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly over the filling, tucking in the edges as you go. Seal both ends securely to avoid a messy spill during baking.
  6. Baking: Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a greased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  7. Cooling: After removing it from the oven, let the buffalo chicken garbage bread sit for 5-10 minutes to cool slightly. This will make it easier to slice.
  8. Slicing and Serving: Use a sharp knife to cut into slices and serve with additional ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy your delightful creation!
