Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (mild, medium, or hot)
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • 2 flatbreads (store-bought naan, pita, or pre-made pizza crusts work well)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or green onions, for garnish

  • Instructions

    1. 1. Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400 F (200 C). This ensures your flatbreads will cook evenly and get nice and crispy. If your flatbread package has specific temperature instructions, follow those instead.

    2. 2. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken with the buffalo sauce. Stir well until all the chicken is thoroughly coated. This is where the magic happens, infusing the chicken with that signature spicy tang.

    3. 3. Spread the Ranch Base: Lay your flatbreads on a baking sheet. Evenly spread half of the ranch dressing over each flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges. This acts as a creamy, cooling base that complements the spicy chicken.

    4. 4. Add the Chicken and Cheese: Distribute the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the ranch-coated flatbreads. Then, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken. If using, scatter the crumbled blue cheese on top as well. Do not overload the flatbreads, or they might become soggy.

    5. 5. Bake Until Golden and Bubbly: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the flatbread are lightly golden and crisp. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

    6. 6. Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, let the flatbreads cool for a minute or two before slicing. Garnish with fresh chopped chives or green onions for a burst of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
