Ingredients
Scale
- 2 flatbreads
- 2 tsp olive oil
- ½ cup buffalo wing sauce
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- ⅓ cup blue cheese dressing
- ⅓ cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven (The Oven Operation): Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, ensuring the oven is heated evenly and ready for baking.
- Prepare the Flatbreads (The Prep Protocol): Place the flatbreads on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan, ensuring the parchment paper covers the entire pan. Brush the edges lightly with olive oil, enhancing their flavor and promoting even browning.
- Bake the Flatbreads (The Baking Basics): Bake the flatbreads for 5 minutes until warmed and just starting to crisp, creating a sturdy base for the toppings.
- Add the Toppings (The Topping Technique): Remove the flatbreads from the oven, ensuring they are handled carefully. Spread the buffalo sauce evenly over both flatbreads, creating a flavorful base. Sprinkle diced chicken and mozzarella cheese on top, ensuring even distribution. Drizzle the blue cheese dressing on top, adding a creamy and tangy element.
- Bake the Flatbreads Again (The Second Bake): Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are slightly browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly, achieving a delightful texture and visual appeal. To brown the tops, place under the broiler on high for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Garnish and Serve (The Serving Sensation): Remove from the oven, ensuring they are handled carefully. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and additional buffalo sauce and blue cheese if desired, adding a touch of freshness and flavor. Cut into small squares for an appetizer or large slices for dinner, ensuring they are easy to serve and enjoy. Serve immediately, ensuring they are enjoyed at their peak freshness.
