# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It satisfies both pizza and salad cravings in one bite, so you never have to choose.
  • The contrast between warm, crispy flatbread and cool, tangy Caesar topping is pure magic.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble everything in minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It looks impressive enough for guests but easy enough for a Tuesday night.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking or it will release juice onto the flatbread and make everything soggy.
  • Dress the lettuce just before assembling so it stays crisp and doesn't wilt from sitting.
  • Serve these right away, the contrast between warm bread and cool salad is what makes them irresistible.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet to cook the chicken, it gives you a better sear and more flavor in less time.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of lemon juice or water so it coats the lettuce evenly.
  • Grate the Parmesan fresh right before serving, the flavor is sharper and it melts slightly from the warmth of the chicken.
