Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 2 tablespoons ranch dressing
Base and Bread:
- 1 large flatbread
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Garnish and Additional Flavor:
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F, creating an ideal environment for a crispy, golden flatbread.
- Brush the flatbread surface with olive oil, ensuring an even, light coating that promotes golden browning.
- Mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, coating each chicken piece thoroughly for maximum flavor intensity.
- Spread the buffalo-coated chicken evenly across the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken, creating a melty foundation for the dish.
- Crumble blue cheese strategically across the surface, adding a tangy and rich flavor profile.
- Dust the flatbread with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to enhance the overall seasoning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for the cheese to become bubbly and the edges to turn crisp and golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle ranch dressing in a zigzag pattern across the surface.
- Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro, adding a bright, fresh dimension to the spicy buffalo chicken flatbread.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting buffalo sauce quantity, allowing personalized spice experiences for different palates.
- Swap traditional flatbread with gluten-free or cauliflower alternatives for dietary-sensitive guests without compromising flavor intensity.
- Prep chicken in advance by slow-cooking or using rotisserie meat to reduce overall cooking time and streamline meal preparation.
- Add extra crunch by sprinkling crispy bacon bits or toasted panko breadcrumbs for textural contrast and enhanced savory notes.
