Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce Frank's RedHot recommended
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 pre-made flatbreads Naan, pita, or store-bought flatbread dough
  • 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced celery optional
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese optional

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • baking sheet
  • Oven
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • spatula

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
  3. Cook until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add buffalo wing sauce and butter to the skillet with the chicken.
  5. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and coat the chicken evenly.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Place flatbreads on a baking sheet.
  8. Spread each flatbread with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  9. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the flatbreads.
  10. Top with the buffalo chicken mixture.
  11. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flatbread is golden brown.
  12. Sprinkle with thinly sliced celery and crumbled blue cheese, if desired.
  13. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, shred your own cheese for optimal melting. Simmering the buffalo sauce with butter helps it thicken and cling to the chicken. Don't overbake the flatbread to avoid a dry crust. Celery and blue cheese add a refreshing counterpoint to the spicy buffalo chicken. You can also use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken, but searing the chicken from scratch maximizes flavor.
