# How to Make It:

02 - Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
04 - Remove flatbreads from oven. Arrange sliced chicken evenly over each flatbread. Top generously with dressed Caesar salad, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and add cherry tomatoes if desired.
05 - Top with additional Parmesan shavings and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It bridges the gap between pizza night and salad night without compromising on either.
  • Everything cooks quickly, and you can prep the chicken while the flatbread crisps in the oven.
  • The creamy Caesar dressing soaks into the warm bread just enough to make every bite satisfying.
  • You can customize toppings based on what's already in your fridge.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking or the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry.
  • Don't dress the salad too early or it will wilt before you even assemble the flatbreads.
  • If your flatbread gets too crisp, it'll shatter when you try to cut it, so watch the oven closely.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the assembled flatbread cleanly without dragging all the toppings off.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice so it coats the lettuce evenly.
  • Grate the Parmesan fresh right before serving for the best flavor and texture.
