Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sturdy flatbread or naan (enough for 2 servings)

Protein

  • 1 to 1 ½ cups cooked shredded or chopped chicken (rotisserie or grilled)

Sauce

  • ½ cup buffalo wing sauce (adjust for spice preference)

Cheese

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Fresh Toppings

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Dressing

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss the shredded chicken with buffalo sauce until evenly coated with the spicy, tangy flavor.
  2. Assemble the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese on the flatbread. Evenly distribute the buffalo-coated chicken over the cheese layer, then add another sprinkle of cheese on top to help everything melt together.
  3. Bake Until Crispy: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the assembled flatbread for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese melts and the flatbread edges become golden and crisp.
  4. Add Fresh Toppings: Remove the flatbread from the oven and top it with chopped celery and sliced green onions to add refreshing crunch and vibrant color.
  5. Drizzle with Dressing: Finish by drizzling ranch or blue cheese dressing over the flatbread for a cool, creamy contrast to the spicy buffalo flavor.

Notes

  • Use warm flatbread at room temperature to avoid sogginess when baking.
  • Do not overload with chicken or cheese to keep the flatbread crispy.
  • Balance the heat by adding creamy toppings like avocado or extra ranch dressing if desired.
  • Sauté tougher veggies like bell peppers before adding if using extra vegetables.
  • For extra crispness, bake flatbread on a preheated pizza stone or cast-iron skillet.
