Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Recipe

Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread is a quick and flavorful dish that combines spicy buffalo sauce with tender chicken and melty cheese on a crisp flatbread base. Perfect for a casual lunch or game day snack, it’s easy to prepare and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

• 2 flatbreads (14.5 ounce equivalent)
• 2 teaspoons light olive oil
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more if desired)
• 1 1/2 cup diced cooked chicken (approximately 3/4 pounds)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing
• 1/3 cup sliced green onions (about 3 green onions)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Step 2: Place flatbreads on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and brush the edges lightly with olive oil.
3. Step 3: Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until warmed and just starting to crisp.
4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and spread the buffalo sauce evenly over both flatbreads. Sprinkle diced chicken and mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing over the flatbreads.
5. Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are slightly browned. For a browned top, place under the broiler on high for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
6. Step 6: Remove from oven. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and add additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing if desired before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut to save time.
• Swap blue cheese dressing for ranch if you prefer a milder flavor.
• For less heat, reduce the amount of buffalo wing sauce or choose a mild version.
• Add sliced celery on top after baking for extra crunch and freshness.

Storage

Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 5-7 minutes to keep the crust crisp, or microwave briefly but expect a softer texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular bread instead of flatbread?

While flatbread works best for a crisp and sturdy base, you can use thick slices of regular bread or naan as a substitute. Adjust baking times accordingly to avoid sogginess.

How spicy is this dish?

The heat level depends on the buffalo wing sauce you use. You can easily adjust the spiciness by choosing a mild, medium, or hot sauce to suit your taste.

Flatbread Base

• 2 flatbreads (14.5 ounces equivalent)
• 2 teaspoons light olive oil

Toppings

• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more if desired)
• 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken (approximately 3/4 pounds)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing
• 1/3 cup sliced green onions (about 3 green onions)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy flatbreads and perfectly melted toppings.
2. Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Brush the edges lightly with light olive oil to help them crisp up and develop a golden finish while baking.
3. Initial Bake: Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until they warm through and start to crisp up. This step helps create a sturdy base for the toppings.
4. Add Toppings: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and evenly spread buffalo wing sauce over the surface. Then sprinkle the diced cooked chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by a drizzle of blue cheese dressing for creamy tanginess.
5. Bake with Toppings: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned and cheese is melted. For extra browning and a bubbly top, place the flatbreads under the broiler on high for 1 to 2 minutes as a final step.
6. Finishing Touches: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top. Add more buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing if you like for extra flavor. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

• You can adjust the buffalo wing sauce quantity depending on how spicy you prefer the flatbread.
• To save time, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken diced for convenience.
• If you don’t have blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing is a milder alternative.
• Keep an eye on the flatbreads under the broiler to prevent burning—they can brown quickly.
• This recipe can be doubled to serve a larger group; just bake in batches as needed.
