These Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizzas are perfect for a quick and easy dinner or as a fun snack. Naan is spread with homemade buffalo sauce, topped with cooked chicken, shredded jack cheese and crumbled blue cheese cheese. Once baked, serve drizzled with more buffalo sauce, blue cheese dressing and a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Makes 2 in about 15 minutes.

I’m totally obsessed with Frank’s. Like really obsessed. I put it on just about everything.

For example, in the past month I’ve put it in or on my tacos, nachos, wings, popcorn, eggs and now my pizza. I even had a little anxiety issue while pouring the very last of the bottle in order to make this recipe. Clearly I need therapy. But the retail kind not the sit down in a chair and gush about how I’m sickly addicted to Frank’s Red Hot I am.

Because that would be crazy.

These buffalo chicken flatbread pizzas or naanzas (did I just invent something here?) are just another way to fuel my love for Frank’s. They’re simple, delicious and only take 15 minutes!

To Make These Buffalo Chicken Flatbread Pizzas You Will Need:

• naan – Use regular, garlic or whole wheat (store-bought or homemade)
• olive oil – Helps get the crust crisp and get nicely golden brown.
• buffalo sauce –  Use homemade or store-bought.
• monterrey jack cheese – Or for extra spice use pepper jack. Freshly grated is best!
• leftover shredded cooked chicken – Leftover roasted, grilled or use rotisserie.
• blue cheese – Use your favorite!
• green onions – Adds a pop of color and fresh onion flavor.
• blue cheese dressing – Use this greek yogurt version or this blue cheese dip recipe and just thin it out with a little more buttermilk so it can be drizzled.

Start by making the buffalo sauce. It’s pretty easy to throw together and only calls for a few ingredients. My buffalo wing sauce is semi-homemade because in our house, using anything other than Frank’s would be illegal. If you have Frank’s on hand, you also probably have butter, garlic powder and cayenne.

Preheat your oven to 425℉ or 220℃.

Place the naan onto a metal, rimmed baking sheet and lightly brush the top side with olive oil.

Next add a couple of spoonfuls of the buffalo sauce onto each naan and spread out leaving a 1/2-inch edge.

You’ll most likely have left over sauce that you can save for pretty much anything that or just double the rest of the pizza ingredients (keeping the sauce recipe the same) to make more pizzas.

Then sprinkle each pizza with the 1-1/2 cups of shredded jack cheese and 1 cup of shredded cooked chicken.

Lastly, sprinkle with freshly crumbled blue cheese.

Next slide the pan onto the middle rack of your preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden and crispy.

I wish you could smell this!

Before serving, drizzle each pizza with more buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing.

Sprinkle with a little freshly ground black pepper and sliced green onions.

Use a pizza cutter to slice the buffalo chicken flatbread pizzas into thirds and serve! Dinner, a kick-butt app or afternoon snack, whatever the reason I have no doubt these naanzas will be devoured!
