Ingredients
Scale
Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (14.5 ounces total)
- 2 teaspoons light olive oil
Toppings
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more to taste)
- 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
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature for the flatbreads.
- Prepare the flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the edges of the flatbreads with light olive oil to help crisp and brown the crust.
- Initial bake: Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. This step warms and slightly crisps them, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Add toppings: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and evenly spread the buffalo wing sauce over their surfaces. Then, top with the diced cooked chicken and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing evenly across the top for rich flavor.
- Bake again: Return the topped flatbreads to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Optional broil: For a beautifully golden top, switch the oven to broil on high and broil the flatbreads for 1-2 minutes. Monitor closely to prevent burning.
- Finish and garnish: Remove the flatbreads from the oven. Sprinkle with sliced green onions for freshness, and add extra buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing if desired for an extra punch of flavor.
- Serve: Slice the flatbreads and serve immediately while warm and delightful.
Notes
- Adjust buffalo wing sauce quantity to suit your preferred spice level.
- Use pre-cooked or leftover chicken to streamline preparation.
- For a crispier crust, ensure flatbreads are baked on parchment or a preheated baking stone.
- This recipe serves well as an appetizer or a light main dish.
- Blue cheese dressing can be swapped with ranch dressing for a milder taste.
