Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Base

  • 2 flatbreads (store-bought or homemade)

Vegetables & Greens

  • 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Dressings & Oils

  • ½ cup Caesar dressing
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Cheese & Seasonings

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry, then season generously with garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken until golden and crispy on the outside but tender inside, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once cooked, let it rest before slicing thinly.
  2. Toast the Flatbread: Place the flatbread on a separate pan or skillet, brushing lightly with olive oil. Toast for 2-3 minutes on each side until warm and crisp, creating the perfect base for your toppings.
  3. Assemble the Base Layer: Spread a generous amount of Caesar dressing evenly over the warm flatbread to infuse every bite with creamy, tangy goodness.
  4. Add the Chicken and Romaine: Arrange the sliced crispy chicken over the dressing, then top with chopped romaine lettuce for that fresh crunch and classic Caesar texture.
  5. Garnish with Parmesan and Extras: Finish by sprinkling freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Optionally, add cracked black pepper or drizzle a little more dressing if you love that extra flavor boost.

Notes

  • Chicken Thickness: Pound the chicken to an even thickness to ensure quick, even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Flatbread Warmth: Warm the flatbread just before assembling to keep it crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Fresh Romaine: Use crisp, fresh romaine for optimal texture; avoid wilted lettuce at all costs.
  • Parmesan Choice: Always opt for freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-shredded for maximum flavor.
  • Salting Tips: Lightly salt the chicken and the lettuce separately to enhance the overall seasoning without overdoing it.
