Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Seasonings

  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ cup wing sauce (plus more for drizzling)

Flatbread and Cheese Toppings

  • 2 flatbread crusts
  • 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Final Garnishes

  • ¼ cup sliced green onions
  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking throughout.
  2. Make Seasoning Blend: In a small dish, mix garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Season Chicken: Rub both sides of the chicken breasts thoroughly with the seasoning blend to infuse flavor.
  4. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear.
  5. Dice and Sauce Chicken: Remove cooked chicken, dice it into small pieces, then toss in the wing sauce until evenly coated.
  6. Preheat Oven and Prepare Flatbreads: While chicken cooks, preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place flatbread crusts on it.
  7. Make Cream Cheese Spread: In a small bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese with ranch seasoning mix until smooth and evenly blended.
  8. Assemble Flatbreads: Spread the ranch cream cheese mixture evenly over each flatbread. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella followed by cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Add Chicken Topping: Distribute the buffalo chicken pieces evenly over the cheese layers on the flatbreads.
  10. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes until cheeses are melted, hot, and bubbly.
  11. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle sliced green onions over the top, and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing before serving.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the wing sauce before tossing chicken.
  • Use fresh flatbread or naan for a crispier base.
  • Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
  • Chicken can be grilled instead of pan-cooked for a smoky flavor.
  • Leftover flatbreads reheat well in a hot oven or air fryer for crispiness.
