Buffalo Chicken Salad Flatbread
It’s part salad, part flatbread, and 100 percent delicious. This Buffalo Chicken Salad Flatbread has a cheese covered crust, baked to perfection for that crispy exterior and doughy inside. Outside the oven, it’s topped with crunchy romaine, shredded carrots, red onions, blue cheese, and everyone’s favorite—breaded buffalo chicken for just a little heat. The finishing touch—a drizzle of blue cheese or ranch dressing (with extra for dipping if you’re into that). Indulge on your next pizza night or make this for an easy weeknight meal.
