02 - Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - In a large bowl, toss chopped romaine with Caesar dressing until lightly coated.
04 - Remove flatbreads from oven. Arrange sliced chicken evenly over each flatbread. Top generously with Caesar salad mixture, sprinkle with Parmesan, and add cherry tomatoes if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under half an hour, even on nights when youre running on fumes.
  • The warm, crispy base paired with cold, tangy greens creates a texture contrast that feels exciting with every bite.
  • Youre getting protein, crunch, and greens all in one handheld meal.
  • It uses ingredients you probably already have, or can grab quickly from any store.
02 -
  • Dont overdress the romaine or it will wilt and make the flatbread soggy within minutes.
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking, slicing it too soon releases all the juices and leaves the meat dry.
  • Bake the flatbreads just until crisp, overbaking them turns them into crackers that crack under the weight of toppings.
  • Assemble these right before serving, they dont hold well once the cold salad meets the warm bread.
03 -
  • Grill the chicken instead of pan frying it for a smoky char that adds another layer of flavor.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre shredded, it melts better and tastes sharper.
  • If you love anchovies, chop a few and mix them into the dressing for a deeper, saltier Caesar punch.
  • Warm your flatbreads on a grill or stovetop if you want even more crispness and a hint of char.
