With melty cheese, tangy buffalo chicken, and a crispy flatbread base, it’s a family-friendly meal or party appetizer you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flatbreads (about 8-inch each; naan, pita, or pre-baked flatbread)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped (about 250g)
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce (80ml)
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (30g; nonfat or 2%)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (50g)
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (30g; optional)
  • Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for drizzling
  • 12 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro or chives
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (5ml)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven now.
  2. Place flatbreads on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush each lightly with olive oil.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, and Greek yogurt. Stir until well coated.
  4. Top each flatbread evenly with the buffalo chicken mixture. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the top, then add red onion slices.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Drizzle lightly with ranch or blue cheese dressing and sprinkle with chopped cilantro or chives.
  7. Slice with a sharp knife or pizza cutter and serve warm.

Notes

Don’t overload the flatbread with toppings to avoid sogginess. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup. Preheat the oven fully for a crisp crust. Mix Greek yogurt into the buffalo sauce for extra creaminess and protein. Let the flatbread rest before slicing for cleaner cuts. For gluten-free or dairy-free, use appropriate substitutes. Leftovers reheat best in a toaster oven or standard oven.
