# How to Make:

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 with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
04 - Remove flatbreads from oven. Arrange sliced chicken evenly over each flatbread. Top generously with dressed Caesar salad mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and add cherry tomatoes if desired.
05 - Garnish with additional Parmesan shavings and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like you're cheating dinner because it's so fast but tastes like you planned it all week.
  • The contrast between warm, crispy flatbread and cool, crunchy Caesar salad hits every texture craving at once.
  • You can eat it with your hands or a fork, and no one judges either way.
02 -
  • If you skip resting the chicken, all the juice runs out when you slice it and makes the flatbread soggy.
  • Bake the flatbread first before adding toppings, otherwise it stays floppy and disappointing.
03 -
  • Grill the chicken instead of pan-cooking it for a smoky flavor that takes this to another level.
  • Use a pizza stone if you have one, it makes the flatbread even crispier and more restaurant-like.
