Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish perfect for game day or a casual dinner. Crispy flatbreads topped with spicy buffalo sauce, tender chicken, melted cheese, and creamy blue cheese dressing create a delicious balance of heat and creaminess.

The image shows three rectangular flatbreads arranged in a row on a white marbled surface. Each flatbread has a soft, pale golden crust as the base layer. On top, there is melted orange cheese spread evenly, followed by white melted cheese adding a creamy texture. Scattered over the cheese are small chunks of cooked chicken, light brown with some darker browned edges. Dollops of white sauce with green herb specks are placed across the flatbreads, adding a fresh contrast. Finally, chopped green onions are sprinkled across the top, adding a touch of bright green color. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 flatbreads
2 tsp olive oil
½ cup buffalo wing sauce
1 ½ cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
⅓ cup blue cheese dressing
⅓ cup green onions, sliced

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, ensuring it is heated evenly and ready for baking.
Step 2: Place the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan, covering the entire pan. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil to enhance flavor and promote even browning.
Step 3: Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until warmed and just starting to crisp, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.
Step 4: Remove the flatbreads from the oven carefully. Spread the buffalo wing sauce evenly over both flatbreads. Sprinkle diced chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top. Drizzle blue cheese dressing over the flatbreads.
Step 5: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are slightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a browned top, broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
Step 6: Remove from the oven carefully. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top and add extra buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing if desired. Cut into small squares for an appetizer or large slices for a main dish, and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

Substitute cooked rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option.
Use ranch dressing instead of blue cheese dressing for a milder taste.
Add sliced jalapeños for extra heat.
Try swapping mozzarella for pepper jack cheese to add a spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes to keep the crust crisp and cheese melted. Avoid microwaving to prevent a soggy crust.

How to Serve

The image shows two pieces of flatbread on a white marbled surface, each with three layers. The base is a soft, light golden flatbread. The second layer is a bright orange sauce spread evenly across the flatbread, giving a smooth, slightly glossy texture. On top, there are chunks of shredded light brownish chicken scattered across each piece. The chicken is drizzled with a creamy white sauce speckled with green herbs, creating a contrast with the orange sauce. Finally, small, bright green pieces of chopped green onion are sprinkled on top, adding fresh color and texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
