Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (14.5 ounces total or 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 (3 green onions)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and lightly brush the edges with olive oil to enhance browning and flavor.
- Initial Bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes until they are warmed through and just beginning to crisp on the edges.
- Add Toppings: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and evenly spread the buffalo wing sauce over each flatbread. Then, sprinkle the diced cooked chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing for a creamy finish.
- Final Bake and Broil: Return the topped flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the edges turn slightly brown. For extra browning and a bubbly cheese topping, place the flatbreads under the broiler on high for the last 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Optionally, add additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing to taste. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to reduce preparation time; rotisserie chicken works well.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your spice preference.
- Blue cheese dressing can be substituted with ranch dressing if preferred.
- Baking time may vary depending on oven type and flatbread thickness; monitor closely when broiling to avoid burning.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute with gluten-free flatbreads.
