3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Spicy Buffalo Chicken Flatbread

Prepare the Chicken Mixture

In a bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken with buffalo sauce. Mix thoroughly until well coated. For a milder flavor, adjust the amount of buffalo sauce to your taste.

Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up while you prepare the flatbread. For quicker results, you can also use an air fryer like the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast.

Assemble the Flatbread

Brush the flatbread with olive oil to promote crispiness. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the flatbread, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top. Add blue cheese crumbles, green onions, and any additional toppings you prefer.

Bake the Flatbread

Place the assembled flatbread on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.

Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven, slice into squares, and serve hot. For an extra flavor boost, drizzle with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce. Pair with a cool beverage like iced tea or a fancy mocktail made with the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for refreshing drinks. Enjoy this spicy chicken flatbread as a quick snack or light meal!
