Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Recipe

Introduction

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread is a deliciously spicy and tangy meal that comes together quickly, perfect for a casual lunch or game day snack. Combining tender chicken, zesty buffalo sauce, and melty cheese on crisp flatbread creates a satisfying flavor-packed dish everyone will love.

Ingredients

• 2 flatbreads (about 14.5 ounces each or equivalent)
• 2 teaspoons light olive oil
• 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more if desired)
• 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken (approximately 3/4 pound)
• 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 the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Lightly brush the edges with olive oil to help them crisp.
3. Step 3: Bake the flatbreads for about 5 minutes until warmed through and just starting to crisp.
4. Step 4: Remove flatbreads from the oven. Spread buffalo wing sauce evenly over each flatbread. Then sprinkle the diced cooked chicken and mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing.
5. Step 5: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned. For extra browning on top, place under the broiler on high for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
6. Step 6: Remove from oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Add additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing if desired before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use rotisserie chicken for a quick shortcut and added flavor.
• Swap blue cheese dressing for ranch if you prefer a milder taste.
• Add sliced celery or carrots on the side for a crunchy, refreshing contrast.
• For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with diced cauliflower or tofu tossed in buffalo sauce.

Storage

Store leftover Buffalo Chicken Flatbread wrapped tightly in foil or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes to keep the crust crisp. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it may make the flatbread soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

You can prepare the flatbreads up to the point before baking, then cover and refrigerate for a few hours. Bake just before serving to ensure a crisp crust and fresh toppings.

What if I don’t have buffalo wing sauce?

Mix hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot) with melted butter to create a quick homemade buffalo sauce. Adjust ratios to your heat preference.

Scale 1x2x3x

Flatbread Base

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

Toppings

• 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 (3 green onions)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
2. Prepare flatbreads: Place the two flatbreads on a parchment-lined sheet pan and lightly brush the edges of each flatbread with the light olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
3. Initial baking: Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until they are warmed through and just starting to crisp around the edges.
4. Add toppings: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and spread buffalo wing sauce evenly over both. Next, sprinkle the diced cooked chicken evenly over each flatbread, followed by an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle blue cheese dressing on top for added creaminess.
5. Bake again: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a nicely browned top, place the flatbreads under the broiler on high for 1-2 minutes at the end.
6. Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle the sliced green onions over the flatbreads. Add additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing as desired for extra flavor. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

• Use pre-cooked chicken to save time; rotisserie chicken works well.
• Adjust buffalo wing sauce quantity for preferred spice level.
• Watch carefully when broiling to prevent burning.
• Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
