Instructions

Preheat your sauté pan over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before dicing it into half-inch cubes. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a pizza stone or baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
4
Take the whole wheat flatbreads and spread a generous layer of blue cheese dressing over the top of each.
5
Distribute the diced chicken evenly over the dressing on both flatbreads. Sprinkle the buttermilk blue cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken.
6
Season the flatbreads with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
7
Place the flatbreads in the oven on the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cheese is beautifully melted.
8
Once baked, carefully remove the flatbreads from the oven. Garnish with chopped scallions and an extra drizzle of buffalo sauce if desired. Slice and serve hot.
