Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (60 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • ½ cup buffalo sauce (120 ml), such as Frank’s RedHot
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 large store-bought flatbreads or naan
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (100 g)
  • ¼ cup blue cheese crumbles (optional, 30 g)
  • 3–4 large celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon honey
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss them in the all-purpose flour until lightly coated. (Approx. 5 minutes)
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and immediately toss the hot chicken in buffalo sauce until fully coated. (10-12 minutes)
  3. In a medium bowl, combine thinly sliced celery, shredded carrot, and green onion. In a separate small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Pour dressing over veggies and toss gently to coat. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (10 minutes)
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over each piece, followed by optional blue cheese crumbles. (5 minutes prep)
  5. Bake the flatbreads in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges are crisp. Keep an eye to prevent burning. (8-10 minutes)
  6. Remove flatbreads from oven, top evenly with buffalo chicken pieces, then spoon fresh celery slaw over the top. Serve immediately for best texture contrast. (2 minutes)

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, double-fry the pieces. Thinly slice celery for better texture contrast. Preheat oven fully before baking flatbread. Adjust buffalo sauce heat level to taste. Use gluten-free flour and flatbread for gluten-free option. Substitute dairy ingredients for dairy-free version.
