- For the Buffalo Chicken:
- 1 recipe Pizza Dough (I buy mine at Trader Joes)

Instructions

- Roll out pizza dough to ¼ inch in thickness.
- Spread chicken and cheese evenly across dough. Starting from long side of dough, begin rolling it up like a cinnamon roll. Pinch ends when done. Slice into 1½ inch rolls.
- Place on a baking sheet or in muffin tins. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is lightly browned.
