# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like your favorite restaurant salad but with the satisfying crunch of flatbread underneath.
  • Dinner is done in under half an hour, even on chaotic evenings.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and just assemble when hunger strikes.
  • It feels indulgent but sneaks in plenty of greens without trying too hard.
02 -
  • If you skip resting the chicken after cooking, all the juices run out when you slice it and the meat turns dry.
  • Dress the lettuce right before assembling, or it will wilt and lose its crunch by the time you serve.
  • Do not overbake the flatbread in the first step, it finishes crisping under the weight of the toppings.
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 splash of lemon juice or water so it coats the lettuce evenly.
  • Make extra chicken and keep it in the fridge, it turns this into a five-minute meal the second time around.
