Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads 14 oz package, or use naan or mini flatbreads for individual servings
- 2 tsp light olive oil or avocado oil
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce store-bought or homemade, plus extra for drizzling
- 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken about 3/4 lb, baked or rotisserie
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing plus extra for drizzling
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions about 3 green onions, white stems removed
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 flatbreads on a sheet pan and brush edges lightly with 2 tsp light olive oil.
- Pre-Bake Flatbreads: Bake flatbreads for 5 minutes until warmed and slightly crisp. This prevents a soggy Chicken Flatbread.
- Add Toppings: Remove flatbreads from the oven. Spread 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce evenly over both flatbreads. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups diced cooked chicken and 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Drizzle 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing on top.
- Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is melted. For a browned top, broil on high for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1/3 cup sliced green onions and drizzle with extra buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing, if desired. Slice into squares for appetizers or wedges for a summer dinner and serve immediately.
Notes
