These buffalo chicken flatbreads are so easy to make! They’re perfect for a quick lunch or even as a party snack.
These flatbreads are the perfect mix of cheesy and spicy. I love how packed with flavour they are when you just need a handful of ingredients to make them.
By using store-bought flatbreads and a rotisserie chicken you can make them so super quickly which is ideal when you’re in need of an easy meal.
I was inspired to make these flatbreads by my recipe for buffalo tofu wraps. The buffalo sauce and blue cheese is a classic combination and of course the chicken is the perfect partner for them.
They would be great served with a side salad like this tomato and cucumber salad or even this kale salad.

Substitutions
- Flatbreads - I can get good store bought flatbreads at my local shop but you could also use naan or pitta if you can’t get flatbreads
- Cheddar - There are loads of other cheeses you can use for this recipe - mozzarella or provolone would both be good here
- Gluten-Free - Switch out the flatbread for your favourite gluten-free brand
Variations
- Buffalo Sauce - You could switch up the flavour by swapping the buffalo sauce for something else like barbecue sauce or chipotle paste
- Deluxe - Add avocado slices, blue cheese dressing or crispy onions before serving for an extra hit of flavour
- Extra Veggies - Some chopped spinach or small broccoli florets would be a tasty addition

Top tip
Be careful not to overdo it with the buffalo sauce and make the flatbreads too soggy! Add a bit at a time until the chicken is nicely coated. If you still have some leftover then serve it on the side!
