Flatbread Base
- 2 flatbreads (14 oz package or equivalent)
- 2 tsp light olive oil
Toppings
- 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (more if desired)
- 1.5 cups diced cooked chicken (approx 3/4 pounds)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup blue cheese dressing (more if desired)
- 1/3 cup sliced green onions (3 green onions, white stems removed)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisping the flatbread.
- Prepare Flatbreads: Place the flatbreads on a sheet pan and brush the edges lightly with light olive oil to encourage browning and a crispy texture around the crust.
- Partially Bake Flatbreads: Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until they are warmed through and just starting to crisp, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Add Sauces and Toppings: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and evenly spread the buffalo wing sauce over both flatbreads. Then sprinkle the diced cooked chicken and shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing over the assembled flatbreads.
- Bake Until Golden: Return the flatbreads to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are slightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For extra browning on top, place under the broiler on high for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the flatbreads from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Add additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing as desired. Slice and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese dressing according to your spice and flavor preference.
- Use pre-cooked chicken such as rotisserie or grilled chicken for convenience.
- If you prefer less spicy, substitute buffalo wing sauce with mild wing sauce or BBQ sauce.
- Broiling should be done carefully and watched closely to avoid burning the cheese.
- Flatbreads can be homemade or store-bought; just ensure they fit your oven and are sturdy enough to hold toppings.
