Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (9 oz each) Gardein® Seven Grain Crispy Tenders
  • 1/2 cup Earth Balance® Original Buttery Spread
  • 1/3 cup cayenne pepper sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • PAM® Olive Oil No-Stick Cooking Spray
  • 1 tablespoon cornmeal
  • 1 pkg (11 oz each) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 8 ounces vegan mozzarella shreds
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 2 tablespoons vegan ranch dressing

Directions

  • Step one

    Preheat oven to 450°.

  • Step two

    Bake Gardein® Tenders in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet until crispy, about 18 minutes, or in an Air Fryer at 400° F for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Step three

    Meanwhile, make buffalo sauce. Combine Earth Balance® spread, hot sauce, and garlic powder in a large bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.

  • Step four

    Liberally spray a 12-inch cast iron skillet or pizza pan with PAM® and dust with cornmeal.

  • Step five

    Roll or form pizza dough into 12×12-inch circle and fit into prepared skillet. Prick 4 to 5 times with fork to prevent large bubbles.

  • Step six

    Spread 1/4 cup buffalo sauce over pizza dough. Top with mozzarella shreds and whites of onions.

  • Step seven

    Cut cooked Chick’n Tenders into bite size pieces and toss in remaining sauce, reserving 2 tablespoons for drizzling on as garnish after baking. Add to pizza.

  • Step eight

    Bake pizza 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted and crust is golden brown.

  • Step nine

    Drizzle buffalo sauce and ranch over top and garnish with sliced green onions. Enjoy!
