Can I make these in the air fryer?

Yes! Place your assembled buffalo chicken flatbread in the basket and air fry at 360 degrees for 7-9 minutes until the edges are crispy and cheese is melted. You may have to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer .

I don’t like anything spicy, what other sauce can I use?

I haven’t tried these with barbecue sauce but I’m quite certain they would be delicious swapping out the buffalo sauce for barbecue sauce. You could also toss the chicken with pesto but in that case I would also ditch the ranch dressing.

Can I make this ahead of time?

You can assemble the flatbreads ahead of time and keep them in the fridge but wait to bake until you’re ready to serve.

How should I store the leftovers?

Wrap the leftovers tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

What should I serve with this recipe?

I like to pair spicy buffalo chicken flatbreads with a green vegetable like zucchini fries, roasted brussels sprouts or a simple side salad . Yum!

Wicked Easy Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Recipe

Description

Pizza meets chicken wings with this simple buffalo chicken flatbread featuring spicy sauce, melty cheese, lots of herbs and a ranch drizzle!

Ingredients

Units Scale

8oz cooked chicken, shredded (about 2 cups total)
3 tablespoons buffalo sauce + extra for drizzle
2 tablespoons ranch dressing + extra for drizzle
4oz mozzarella, freshly grated (about 1 heaping cup total)

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark while cooking this recipe!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit and place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats. If you don’t have a pizza stone, you could use a regular baking sheet.
Shred the chicken if it isn’t already. I use a rotisserie chicken and shred it using the paddle or whisk attachment of my stand mixer- it sounds weird but it makes perfectly shredded chicken in 30 seconds! Toss the shredded chicken with 3 tablespoons buffalo sauce until well combined.
Assemble the flatbreads- spread each naan or flatbread with a dollop of ranch dressing, spreading it over the entire surface. Layer the mozzarella, buffalo chicken, thinly sliced red onion and chopped green onions. Top with a little more mozzarella.
Carefully transfer the assembled flatbreads to the preheated pizza stone. Bake for 10 minutes until the bottom is crispy, the edges are golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly. Drizzle with extra ranch and buffalo sauce and top with fresh cilantro. Mmmmmm. 😋

Notes

I’m morally opposed to blue cheese (okay, an exaggeration but I don’t like it mmkay?) BUT I do know that blue cheese pairs well with buffalo wings so if you are a blue cheese lover you should add a sprinkle!
