By Coppermouse

Ingredients

• Pretzels
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese \
• 1/3 cup prepared buffalo sauce, or more to taste
• 1 cup shredded chicken
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 (13 ounce) Pillsbury™ refrigerated pizza crust
• 1 egg, beaten
• Sea salt, for sprinkling
• Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup Yoplait® Greek plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, cheddar cheese and buffalo sauce. Stir in the shredded chicken and green onions.

3. Unroll the pizza dough onto a counter. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into 8 strips. Now take a rolling pin and, working with one strip at a time, roll each strip out into a rectangle (about 11x3 inches).

4. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the buffalo chicken filling along the length of each strip. Starting with the opposite side, roll the dough up into a log, enclosing the filling inside. Pinch the seams together and then very gently roll the dough with your hands to form an even cylinder that fully encloses the filling.

5. Take the two ends of each filled cylinder and form into a circle that is overlapped by a couple of inches of dough on either side. Overlap the two ends and lay over the opposite side to form a pretzel shape, then press to seal. Place the pretzel on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

6. Brush the tops of the pretzels with the beaten egg and season liberally with sea salt. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown.

7. Meanwhile, make the dip. In a bowl, mix together the mayo, buttermilk, Greek yogurt, lemon juice and Worcestershire. Stir in the blue cheese and season with salt and pepper. Place dip into a dish to serve with the hot baked pretzels. Enjoy!
