- 4 oz blue cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup bottled barbecue sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon bottled hot pepper sauce
- 13.8 oz package of refrigerated pizza dough

- Meanwhile, set aside a few of the carrot and celery slices and a small amount of the cheese for garnish.
- Turn chicken.
- Add remaining carrots and celery to skillet.
- Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes more or until chicken reaches 170 F and vegetables are crisp-tender.
