Ingredients

2 flatbreads (14.5 ounces, or equivalent)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

⅓ cup blue cheese dressing

⅓ cup sliced green onions (3 green onions)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan and lightly brush the edges with olive oil.

Bake the Flatbreads
Bake the flatbreads for about 5 minutes, until they are warmed and just starting to crisp.

Add the Toppings
Remove the flatbreads from the oven and spread the buffalo sauce evenly over both flatbreads. Then, sprinkle the diced chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing.

Final Bake
Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned and the cheese has melted. For an extra crispy top, place the flatbreads under the broiler on high for the last 1-2 minutes.

Serve & Enjoy
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions and additional buffalo sauce or blue cheese, if desired. Cut into small squares for an appetizer or large slices for dinner, and serve with a side salad for a complete meal!

Servings and Timing

This recipe yields 5 servings. Prep time is around 10 minutes, and cook time is approximately 20 minutes, bringing the total time to 30 minutes.

Variations

Extra Spicy: If you like things extra spicy, add more buffalo sauce or drizzle some hot sauce on top after baking.

Cheese Variations: Try using a different cheese like cheddar or pepper jack for a more complex flavor. You can also mix in some crumbled blue cheese for a stronger blue cheese presence.

Vegetarian Option: Skip the chicken and load the flatbread with extra veggies, like bell peppers, onions, or spinach, for a veggie-friendly version.

Add Bacon: For an extra crunch and smokiness, sprinkle cooked crumbled bacon over the top before baking.

Storage/Reheating

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in the oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until the cheese is melted and the flatbread is crispy again. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for 30-45 seconds.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought rotisserie chicken?

Yes, rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe! It’s a great time-saver and adds even more flavor to the dish.

Can I make this flatbread ahead of time?

You can assemble the flatbread ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. When ready to bake, simply follow the instructions as directed.

How can I make this recipe less spicy?

If you prefer a milder version, use a mild buffalo sauce or reduce the amount of buffalo sauce used. You can also swap the blue cheese for ranch dressing for a creamier, less tangy flavor.

Yes! You can use pita bread, naan, or even a tortilla if you prefer. Just adjust the cooking time slightly based on the thickness of the bread.

Can I make this recipe on the grill?

Absolutely! Preheat the grill and cook the flatbreads on a grill-safe pan or directly on the grill, flipping them halfway through. Add the toppings and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
