Directions for Buffalo Chicken Flatbread
Let’s make this Buffalo Chicken Flatbread!
Preheat and Prep
I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I place 2 flatbreads on the sheet and brush lightly with 1 tbsp light olive oil.
Pre-Bake the Flatbread
I bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until slightly crisp to prevent a soggy crust.
Add Toppings
I spread ⅓ cup buffalo sauce evenly over the pre-baked flatbreads. I sprinkle 2 cups diced chicken and 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese on top, then drizzle with ¼ cup blue cheese dressing.
Bake and Finish
I bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. For a bubbly cheese effect, I broil on high for 1–2 minutes. I finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and extra buffalo sauce or dressing, if desired.
Slice and Serve
I slice the flatbread into strips or squares and serve immediately for maximum crunch.
