Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats for more even cooking and a crispier crust.

- Spread the pizza dough onto a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan (or onto the heated stone). Use a fork to poke holes in the dough to prevent it from bubbling.
- Layer the pizza with sauce, followed by most of the mozzarella. Add the marinated chicken, sliced onions, and banana peppers, then top with the remaining mozzarella.
- Drizzle 3 tablespoons of blue cheese and 1-2 tablespoons of buffalo sauce over the pizza.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove it.
- In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the pizza crust and return the pizza to the oven.
- Bake for an additional 2 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Garnish with chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, and parsley. Slice and serve!
