Buffalo chicken flatbread takes me back to the night I wanted something quick yet bold in flavor because I didn’t have time to make a full pizza. I shredded some leftover chicken, tossed it in buffalo sauce, and spread it over a flatbread with cheese and a drizzle of ranch. The result was so good that it became my new favorite weeknight dinner.

Since then, I love making this recipe because it’s simple, spicy, and perfect for satisfying cravings fast. The combination of tangy buffalo sauce, creamy dressing, and fresh green onions creates a delicious bite every time.

I sometimes use naan bread for an even softer base. For extra heat, I sprinkle a little cayenne pepper or use a spicier buffalo sauce. If you prefer a smoky flavor, a few slices of cooked bacon make a great topping.
