Ingredients

Scale

Protein:

  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce

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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F, creating an ideal environment for a crispy, golden flatbread.
  2. Brush the flatbread surface with olive oil, ensuring an even, light coating that promotes golden browning.
  3. Mix shredded chicken with buffalo sauce, coating each chicken piece thoroughly for maximum flavor intensity.
  4. Spread the buffalo-coated chicken evenly across the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the chicken, creating a melty foundation for the dish.
  6. Crumble blue cheese strategically across the surface, adding a tangy and rich flavor profile.
  7. Dust the flatbread with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to enhance the overall seasoning.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for the cheese to become bubbly and the edges to turn crisp and golden.
  9. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle ranch dressing in a zigzag pattern across the surface.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped green onions and cilantro, adding a bright, fresh dimension to the spicy buffalo chicken flatbread.
  11. 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.
