Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup Frank's red hot sauce
  • 4 bread rounds (flatbread rounds)
  • 3 celery ribs, thinly sliced on a bias
  • 3/4 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbles

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 T olive oil.
  • Season the chicken pieces with salt and ground black pepper, and add them to the preheated skillet.
  • Saute until cooked through and golden brown, 4-5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet to melt.
  • Add the hot sauce and cook, stirring occasionlly, until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken, 2-3 minutes (be careful not to take a deep breath over the pan or the hot sauce fumes could burn your sinuses!).
  • When the chicken is ready, place the flatbread rounds on a baking sheet and divide the chicken equally between all four rounds.
  • Scatter the celery over the chicken and top each round with some shredded cheese and blue cheese crumbles.
  • Bake until the bread is crisped and the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes.
