# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush flatbreads lightly with olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill seasoned chicken breasts for 5 to 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
04 - Place oiled flatbreads in preheated oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
05 - Toss chopped romaine lettuce with half of the Caesar dressing in a bowl until well coated.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
  • The combination of warm crispy flatbread and cool crunchy lettuce hits every texture you crave.
  • You can make it with rotisserie chicken or leftovers, so it feels fancy without any fuss.
02 -
  • Do not overdress the lettuce or the flatbread will turn soggy within minutes, save some dressing for drizzling on top.
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is not optional, cutting it too soon releases all the juices and leaves the meat dry.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them after 4 minutes in the oven because they can go from golden to burnt very quickly.
03 -
  • Brush the flatbread with garlic-infused olive oil for an extra layer of flavor that tastes like you tried harder than you did.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of lemon juice or water so it drizzles instead of clumps.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbread cleanly without squishing the toppings everywhere.
