Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Trader Joe’s Buffalo Style Wing Sauce
- 2 Trader Joe’s Lavash Flatbreads
- 1 cup Trader Joe’s Lite Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ¼ onion, diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Trader Joe’s Ranch Dressing
- Avocado oil spray or a light drizzle of avocado oil
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
While the oven heats, dice the onion, slice the green onions, and chop the parsley.
In a bowl, toss the shredded chicken with the buffalo wing sauce until evenly coated.
2. Crisp the Flatbread
Lightly brush or spray both lavash flatbreads with avocado oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 3–5 minutes, just until they begin to crisp. They should be lightly golden around the edges but not browned, as they’ll continue cooking once the toppings are added.
3. Add the Toppings
Remove the flatbreads from the oven.
Evenly distribute the buffalo chicken over each flatbread, then sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Bake Again
Return to the oven and bake for 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned and the flatbread is crispy.
Keep a close eye on it during the last couple of minutes—the lavash can go from perfectly crisp to overdone quickly.
5. Finish and Serve
Top with the diced onion, sliced green onions, and chopped parsley.
Finish with a drizzle of ranch dressing before slicing and serving.
Enjoy immediately while the crust is crispy!
Tips for the Best Buffalo Chicken Flatbread
- Pre-baking the lavash is the key to getting a crispy crust that doesn’t become soggy.
- Rotisserie chicken works great if you’re short on time.
- Watch the flatbread closely during the second bake—it crisps up quickly.
- Add sliced celery or tomatoes after baking for even more freshness.
- For extra heat, drizzle on a little more buffalo sauce before serving.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in an air fryer or oven at 375°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crispy crust. Microwaving works, but the flatbread will be softer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use naan instead of lavash?
Yes! Naan makes a thicker, softer flatbread, while lavash creates a crisp, pizza-like crust.
Can I make this ahead of time?
You can prep the buffalo chicken and chop the toppings ahead of time. Assemble and bake just before serving for the best texture.
What should I serve with it?
This flatbread pairs perfectly with a simple side salad, fresh veggies and ranch, roasted broccoli, or sweet potato fries for a complete meal.
