🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prep the flatbread – Place flatbreads on the sheet and lightly brush the edges with oil.
  3. Bake for 5 minutes – This step crisps the crust so it doesn’t get soggy once topped.
  4. Add toppings – Spread buffalo sauce, layer on chopped chicken and mozzarella, and drizzle with blue cheese dressing.
  5. Bake again for 12–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are golden.
  6. Optional broil – For a browned, cheesy top, broil for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Finish and serve – Top with sliced green onions and extra buffalo sauce or dressing, if desired.

🔥 Pro Tip

Always pre-bake your flatbread before adding toppings. This crucial step prevents a soggy crust and creates the perfect crispy base.

🛍 Substitutions & Variations

  • Chicken – Use ground chicken, leftover rotisserie, or even plant-based chicken.
  • Cheese – Try cheddar, pepper jack, or blue cheese crumbles.
  • Crust Options – Swap flatbread with naan, pizza crust, or even pita. Adjust bake time as needed.
  • Make it Vegetarian – Use meatless alternatives like seitan or tofu.

🥙 Make-Ahead Tips

  • Chop green onions and store in an airtight container.
  • Cook chicken in advance (oven, slow cooker, or Instant Pot) and refrigerate until ready to use.

📦 Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warm and crisp again. Avoid the microwave to preserve texture.
