ingredients

(Here's a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

flatbread or naan
cooked chicken, chopped
buffalo wing sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
blue cheese dressing (or blue cheese crumbles with a drizzle of dressing)
green onions, thinly sliced
light olive oil

directions

I start by preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C).
I brush the flatbread lightly with olive oil, place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake it for 5 minutes to get it slightly crispy.
Then, I spread buffalo sauce evenly across the flatbread.
I top it with chopped cooked chicken and shredded mozzarella.
I drizzle or dot the top with blue cheese dressing.
I bake it for 12–15 minutes until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted. For a crispier finish, I broil it for another 1–2 minutes.
Once out of the oven, I sprinkle on green onions and, if I feel like it, a bit more buffalo sauce or blue cheese. Then I slice and serve.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes enough for 5 servings when using two flatbreads. It takes about 10 minutes to prep and around 20 minutes to cook, making the total time approximately 30 minutes.

Variations

I like to switch up the base with pita bread, thin pizza crust, or even tortillas for a thinner version.
Sometimes I mix in shredded cheddar or provolone for a different cheesy layer.
If I want it extra spicy, I use a hotter buffalo sauce or add sliced jalapeños on top.
When I’m not a fan of blue cheese, I go with ranch dressing instead.
For a vegetarian version, I swap the chicken with plant-based chicken strips or roasted cauliflower.

storage/reheating

I let the flatbread cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays good for up to 2 days. To reheat, I pop it in the oven at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to bring back that crispy crust. It also works well in a toaster oven or air fryer.

FAQs

How many calories are in a buffalo chicken flatbread?

One serving (about one-fifth of the total recipe) contains roughly 340 calories, depending on the brands of ingredients used.

What kind of sauce should I use for buffalo chicken flatbread?

I go with a traditional buffalo wing sauce and balance it out with either a blue cheese dressing or blue cheese crumbles.

Can I make this flatbread ahead of time?

Yes, I often prep the ingredients in advance—cook and chop the chicken, slice the green onions, and even toast the flatbread. I wait to add cheese and bake just before serving so everything stays fresh and melty.

Is flatbread healthier than pizza crust?

It can be. Flatbread usually has a thinner, lighter texture which can mean fewer carbs and calories. I also have more control over the ingredients when I make it myself.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Absolutely. I just leave out the chicken and go for roasted veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, or cauliflower instead.

Conclusion

I love how this buffalo chicken flatbread packs bold flavor into every bite with barely any effort. The balance of spicy buffalo sauce, gooey cheese, and creamy dressing makes it a winning combo. It’s quick, flexible, and always satisfies my craving for something spicy and cheesy. Whether it’s dinner or a shareable snack, this recipe never lets me down.
