2 flatbreads or naan breads
2 teaspoons light olive oil or avocado oil
½ cup buffalo wing sauce
1½ cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
⅓ cup blue cheese dressing
⅓ cup green onions, thinly sliced

Directions

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the flatbreads on it.
Prepare the Crust: Lightly brush the edges of the flatbreads with olive oil. Bake for 5 minutes to warm and slightly crisp the crust, preventing sogginess.
Assemble the Flatbreads: Remove from the oven and spread buffalo sauce evenly over each flatbread. Top with diced chicken and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Drizzle blue cheese dressing over the toppings.
Bake: Return to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a browned cheese topping, broil on high for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sliced green onions. Add extra buffalo sauce or blue cheese dressing if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
