Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza is a quick, flavorful dish featuring tender chicken tossed in zesty buffalo sauce on a crispy flatbread base, topped with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese, fresh green onions, and optional veggies. Perfect for busy weeknights, game days, or casual gatherings, it delivers a spicy, cheesy bite that’s easy to customize and share.

Ingredients

Base

  • Flatbread – 1 large store-bought or homemade flatbread (choose whole wheat for a healthy option)

Protein and Sauce

  • Cooked chicken breast – 1 cup, shredded or diced
  • Buffalo sauce – 1/3 cup (a blend of hot sauce and melted butter)

Cheeses

  • Sharp cheddar cheese – 1/2 cup shredded
  • Mozzarella cheese – 1/2 cup shredded

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • Green onions – 2 tablespoons, thinly sliced
  • Optional veggies – 1/4 cup celery or bell peppers, sliced

Dressing (Optional)

  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing – for drizzling, about 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Shred or dice cooked chicken breasts and toss them evenly with the buffalo sauce until fully coated with bold, spicy flavor.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: Set the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a wire rack for crispiness.
  3. Assemble the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, spread a thin layer of buffalo sauce on the flatbread for extra flavor, then distribute the buffalo chicken evenly on top.
  4. Add Cheese and Toppings: Generously sprinkle shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella over the buffalo chicken. Add sliced green onions and optional celery or bell peppers to enhance color and crunch.
  5. Bake Until Bubbly: Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese melts fully and the flatbread edges turn golden and crispy.
  6. Add Final Touches: Remove from the oven and drizzle with ranch or blue cheese dressing if using. Serve immediately while hot and melty.

Notes

  • Use warm flatbread slightly warmed before assembling to keep the crust crispy.
  • Balance the amount of buffalo sauce to avoid soggy crust but maintain flavor.
  • Shred chicken finely for better distribution and melding with the cheese.
  • Combine sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese for optimal flavor and melt.
  • Watch the oven carefully near the end of baking to prevent burning and achieve perfect crispiness.
