Ingredients
Scale
Buffalo Chicken Mix
- 1.5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup Frank’s hot sauce (or other Buffalo sauce)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Flatbread and Toppings
- 2 flatbreads (15 ounce package)
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing, plus extra for garnish
- 1 green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. If using a pizza stone, place it inside the oven and preheat to 450°F. For a baking sheet, preheat the oven to 425°F to ensure it’s adequately heated for baking the flatbreads.
- Prepare Buffalo Chicken Mixture. In a small bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, Frank’s hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated and the chicken is thoroughly coated.
- Brush Flatbreads. Lightly brush each flatbread with 1/4 cup ranch dressing to create a creamy base layer that complements the spicy chicken.
- Add Chicken and Bell Pepper. Evenly distribute the Buffalo chicken mixture over each flatbread, then sprinkle the diced green bell pepper on top for a fresh, crunchy texture.
- Top with Cheeses and Onions. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, crumbled blue cheese, and sliced green onions evenly over the flatbreads to add melty richness and sharpness.
- Bake the Flatbreads. For pizza stone: Using a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet, slide the flatbread onto the preheated stone and bake at 450°F for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. For baking sheet: Place flatbreads on the preheated sheet and bake at 425°F for 5-8 minutes, checking for bubbly cheese and a crisp crust.
- Cool and Garnish. Allow the flatbreads to cool for 2-3 minutes after baking. Drizzle additional ranch dressing over the top to taste before serving for a creamy finishing touch.
Notes
- Using rotisserie chicken reduces prep time and adds flavor.
- The baking time may vary depending on your flatbread brand; keep an eye to avoid burning.
- You can substitute blue cheese with feta or omit it if preferred.
- For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños before baking.
- Serve with celery sticks or a side salad for a complete meal.
