# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers all the flavor of a Caesar salad and grilled chicken in one crispy, handheld bite.
  • The whole thing comes together in half an hour, making it perfect for busy evenings or last-minute guests.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and just assemble when hunger strikes.
  • It feels fancy enough to serve at a casual dinner party but easy enough for a solo lunch.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or all the juices will run out when you slice it, leaving the meat dry.
  • Don't overdress the lettuce or it will turn soggy and weigh down the flatbread.
  • Bake the flatbreads just until crisp, overbaking makes them hard and difficult to bite through.
  • Assemble right before serving so the lettuce stays cold and crunchy against the warm base.
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge so you can throw these together in under ten minutes.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbreads cleanly without squishing the toppings.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice for easier drizzling.
  • For a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning or drizzle with hot sauce before serving.
