Ingredients
Scale
- 2 store-bought flatbreads or naan breads (about 8×10 inches each)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 10 oz/280g)
- 1/3 cup buffalo sauce, plus extra for drizzling (3 fl oz/90ml)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (1 oz/28g)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 oz/113g)
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz/57g)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (1 oz/28g)
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing for drizzling
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing the flatbreads)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Chicken Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the melted butter and buffalo sauce, tossing until evenly coated. The warm butter helps the sauce cling to every piece of chicken, ensuring consistent flavor throughout your Buffalo Chicken Flatbread.
- Step 2: Prepare the Flatbreads Remove the hot baking sheet or stone from the oven and place the flatbreads on it. Brush the entire surface lightly with olive oil, paying special attention to the edges. Pop them back in the oven for 2-3 minutes until they just begin to crisp. This pre-baking step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture in your Buffalo Chicken Flatbread.
- Step 3: Add the Toppings Remove the par-baked flatbreads from the oven. Sprinkle half the mozzarella cheese evenly over them, then distribute the buffalo chicken mixture on top. Add the sliced red onions, then finish with the remaining mozzarella and the crumbled blue cheese. The layering method ensures every bite of your Buffalo Chicken Flatbread has the perfect balance of flavors.
- Step 4: Bake to Perfection Return the assembled flatbreads to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbling, with the edges turning golden brown. Keep a close eye during the final minutes to ensure the flatbread doesn’t burn. You’re looking for that sweet spot where the cheese is perfectly melted but not browned.
- Step 5: Finish and Serve Remove your Buffalo Chicken Flatbread from the oven and immediately drizzle with ranch dressing and a little extra buffalo sauce for those who like it spicier. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro. Let it cool for just 1-2 minutes before slicing to allow the cheese to set slightly, making it easier to cut clean slices. Serve while still warm and watch it disappear!
