Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Seasoning
- 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 Toppings
- 2 flatbread crusts
- 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup sliced green onions
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Pound the chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment and pound to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Make the seasoning blend: In a small dish, combine garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This blend will give the chicken a flavorful base.
- Season the chicken: Rub both sides of each chicken breast evenly with the seasoning blend to coat thoroughly.
- Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes per side until cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Dice and toss chicken in sauce: Remove the chicken from the skillet, let it rest briefly, then dice into small pieces. Toss the diced chicken with ¼ cup wing sauce to coat evenly.
- Preheat oven and prepare flatbreads: While the chicken cooks, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbread crusts on top.
- Prepare cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, mix the room temperature cream cheese with the ranch seasoning until smooth and combined. Spread this mixture evenly over each flatbread crust.
- Add cheeses on flatbreads: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer on each flatbread.
- Top with buffalo chicken: Distribute the buffalo chicken pieces evenly over the layers of cheese on the flatbreads.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, hot, and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove flatbreads from the oven, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and drizzle with blue cheese or ranch dressing to finish before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For extra heat, add more wing sauce or include some cayenne pepper in the seasoning blend.
- Flatbreads can be warmed slightly before assembling to help melting time.
- Blue cheese dressing can be substituted with ranch for a milder flavor.
- Leftover chicken can be used in salads or wraps for another meal.
