How to Make It
Step 1: Make the Buttermilk Ranch
In a bowl, mix together mayo, sour cream, buttermilk, chives, lemon juice, parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and sugar until smooth. Place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the pizza.
Step 2: Prepare the General Tso’s Chicken
Cook InnovAsian’s General Tso’s Chicken according to the package instructions in the air fryer. Warm the included sauce in the microwave in short intervals, reserving a bit for garnish later. Once the chicken is cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces and toss it in the warm sauce.
Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Grease a 12-inch pizza pan, then stretch your dough evenly across it. Spread a layer of homemade ranch over the dough, followed by shredded mozzarella. Top with the saucy chicken pieces, broccoli florets, and red onion slices.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Finish with a drizzle of the reserved sauce and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Slice and enjoy while hot.
Storage and Reheating
Store any leftover slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in an air fryer or oven at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back that perfect crisp crust and melty cheese. Avoid microwaving if you can—it softens the crust.
