Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (about 14.5 oz total)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Toppings
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1½ cups diced cooked chicken (rotisserie or leftover chicken)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- â…“ cup blue cheese dressing
- â…“ cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is ideal for crisping the flatbread while melting the cheese perfectly.
- Prepare the Flatbreads: Brush each flatbread evenly with 1 teaspoon of olive oil on the top side. This helps to create a golden crust and prevents the flatbread from becoming soggy from the sauce.
- Apply Buffalo Sauce: Spread ¼ cup of buffalo wing sauce evenly over each flatbread, covering the surface to add the signature spicy flavor.
- Add Chicken and Cheese: Distribute the diced cooked chicken evenly over the sauce on each flatbread, then sprinkle ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken to create a delicious, melty layer.
- Bake: Place the prepared flatbreads on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are crisp.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven carefully. Drizzle each flatbread with about 2 tablespoons of blue cheese dressing and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top for a fresh, tangy finish.
- Serve: Slice each flatbread into portions and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of cayenne pepper to the buffalo sauce before spreading.
- If you prefer milder flavors, substitute the buffalo wing sauce with a mild hot sauce or barbecue sauce.
- Leftover flatbread can be stored wrapped tightly and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or grill chicken breasts and dice them if you prefer freshly cooked chicken.
- Blue cheese dressing can be substituted with ranch dressing if desired.
