# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than delivery and tastes like you tried way harder than you did.
  • The contrast between warm, crispy flatbread and cold, tangy Caesar topping is genuinely addictive.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead or swap in rotisserie and still feel like a genius.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or it will leak juice all over your flatbread and make it soggy.
  • Dress the lettuce separately before adding it to the flatbread so you control how much dressing actually goes on.
  • Bake the flatbread until it's truly crisp, a soft base won't hold up under all those toppings.
03 -
  • Grate your own parmesan instead of using the pre-grated stuff, it melts better and tastes sharper.
  • If your Caesar dressing feels too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to loosen it up before tossing with the lettuce.
  • Warm flatbread plus cold toppings is the magic contrast here, don't let the flatbread cool down before assembling.
