This Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza recipe is the perfect weeknight meal that comes together in just 15 minutes. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover shredded or rotisserie chicken.
Clearly, I have a thing for all things buffalo-flavored. I don’t see this as a problem, though. It’s really an asset if you ask me. These Buffalo Chicken Flatbreads are a weeknight wonder and come together so quickly, which is precisely what I need after a long day.
Ingredients
Dill sauce: My homemade dill sauce is a staple in my house. You can use it to dress any type of vegetable, and I use it for salads regularly. It is a 50/50 blend of plain Greek yogurt and mayo. You can use regular plain yogurt, but the consistency will be more liquid. Then apple cider vinegar and honey balance out a sour and sweet flavor profile. Then I use garlic powder and dried dill, which are two of my favorite spices. Then I season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
Buffalo chicken: I use leftover rotisserie chicken or make this Instant Pot Shredded Chicken for this recipe. I toss it with about a tablespoon of melted butter and just enough buffalo wing sauce to coat the chicken. It can’t get much easier than this.
Flatbreads: Use your favorite flatbread or Naan bread from the grocery store. If you’re feeling a little more ambitious, you can make my two-ingredient yogurt flatbreads, which is what I like to use.
Toppings: I like to use a combination of pre-shredded broccoli slaw and thinly sliced bell peppers. If you’re in a rush and don’t feel like chopping, you can replace the bell peppers with more broccoli slaw. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a flatbread pizza without shredded cheese. My favorites for this recipe are a sharp cheddar or pepper jack.
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizza
First, you start by making the sauce and setting it aside. Then you’ll toss the chicken with butter and wing sauce. And, you’ll top each of the flatbreads with the chicken, vegetables, and cheese evenly. Lastly, you’ll bake the flatbread pizzas for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F. After the flatbreads come out of the oven, you can drizzle them with some of the dill sauce.
You’ll probably have some extra dill sauce leftover. You might also have some broccoli slaw leftover too depending on the size of the bag. Tossing the remaining slaw with the remaining dill sauce is a great idea to serve alongside the flatbreads. Or, you can save that for another day or use them separately.
