Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads or naan (store-bought or homemade)
- 1½ cups cooked shredded chicken
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese or ranch dressing (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sliced red onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions or chives
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzle (optional)
- Olive oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Prepare Chicken: In a bowl, toss the cooked shredded chicken with the buffalo sauce until all the pieces are evenly coated, infusing the meat with the spicy flavor.
- Prepare Flatbread: Lightly brush both flatbreads with olive oil on each side; this will help them crisp up nicely in the oven. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken over each flatbread, then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Add the sliced red onions and crumbled blue cheese or a dollop of ranch dressing if desired for extra flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese has melted, is bubbly, and the edges of the flatbread turn golden brown, indicating a crisp texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, drizzle additional buffalo sauce and ranch or blue cheese dressing on top if preferred. Garnish with chopped green onions or chives for a fresh touch. Slice into pieces and serve immediately for best enjoyment.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation without sacrificing flavor.
- For extra crispness, prebake the flatbread for 2–3 minutes before adding toppings.
- This flatbread pairs wonderfully with a fresh side salad or crunchy celery sticks to balance the spicy richness.
