Ingredients

Scale
  • large pre-made flatbreads
  • naan bread
  • pita bread
  • large flour tortillas
  • store-bought pizza dough
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot Original
  • low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • crumbled blue cheese
  • ranch dressing
  • blue cheese dressing
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • chopped scallions
  • sour cream
  • plain Greek yogurt

  • chives
  • fresh parsley
  • finely diced celery

Instructions

  1. If you're using cooked chicken, whether it's leftover, baked, or a rotisserie chicken, shred it into bite-sized pieces. Aim for about 2 cups of shredded chicken. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with your buffalo sauce (which I make by melting 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and stirring in about 1/4 cup of Frank's RedHot Original, adjusting to my desired spice level). Toss until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place your flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet. If you're using individual naan or pita breads, arrange them without overlapping. If you have a larger rectangular flatbread, you might need two baking sheets, or you can bake them in batches.
  3. Now for the fun part! I like to start with a thin layer of ranch or blue cheese dressing spread evenly over each flatbread, leaving a small border for the crust. This adds an extra layer of flavor and moisture. Next, evenly distribute the buffalo chicken mixture over the dressing layer. Be generous, but don't overload the flatbreads, as this can make them soggy.
  4. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the buffalo chicken. If you're using blue cheese crumbles, sprinkle those on top of the mozzarella. The mozzarella will melt beautifully, while the blue cheese will provide those wonderful pockets of sharp, tangy flavor.
  5. Carefully transfer the baking sheet (or sheets) to your preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden, and the edges of the flatbread are crisp. Keep an eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary.
  6. Once baked, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. Let them cool for just a minute or two – this makes them easier to cut. Transfer the flatbreads to a cutting board. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut each flatbread into squares, usually about 6-8 per large flatbread, depending on your desired size. Drizzle with a little extra ranch or blue cheese dressing, and sprinkle with thinly sliced red onion or chopped scallions for a fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Keywords: You can use rotisserie chicken for a quick option. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to control the heat. Pre-bake flatbreads for extra crispiness. Avoid overloading the flatbreads to prevent sogginess. Add finely diced celery or bell peppers for extra veggies.
