# How To Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush both sides of flatbreads lightly with olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until warmed and slightly crisp.
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 Caesar salad mix and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
05 - Add cherry tomatoes if desired. Finish with additional Parmesan shavings and black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It satisfies both pizza and salad cravings in one plate, so you never have to choose.
  • The chicken stays juicy and the flatbread stays crisp, which feels like a small miracle every time.
  • You can have dinner on the table in under half an hour without breaking a sweat.
  • It looks impressive enough for company but easy enough for a weeknight when you're too tired to think.
02 -
  • Resting the chicken after cooking is not negotiable, I learned this after slicing into one too early and watching all the moisture pool on my cutting board.
  • Don't overdress the romaine or it will wilt and make the flatbread soggy within minutes.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them at 3 minutes because they can go from crisp to burnt faster than you think.
03 -
  • Warm your flatbreads just before serving so the cheese softens slightly and everything feels cohesive.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, cook the chicken ahead of time and slice it cold, it saves precious minutes when you're assembling.
  • Always taste your Caesar dressing before tossing it with the lettuce, some store bought versions are much saltier than others and you may need less Parmesan on top.
