Ingredients

Flatbread Base

  • Flatbread (naan, pita, or store-bought) – enough for serving
  • Olive oil – for brushing
  • Garlic (minced or powdered) – to taste for brushing

Chicken

  • Cooked chicken breast (grilled or roasted) – sliced
  • Salt – to season
  • Black pepper – to season
  • Lemon zest – a touch for seasoning

Salad and Toppings

  • Romaine lettuce – fresh, crisp leaves
  • Caesar dressing – creamy, enough to toss with lettuce
  • Parmesan cheese – shaved or grated, to taste
  • Croutons or breadcrumbs – for added crunch
  • Lemon juice or zest – for brightness and garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Flatbread: Brush each flatbread lightly with olive oil and a little garlic. Toast them in a hot oven or skillet until golden and slightly crispy to create the perfect base.
  2. Cook and Slice the Chicken: If the chicken is not pre-cooked, grill or pan-sear chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of lemon zest. Allow the chicken to rest before slicing thinly to keep it juicy.
  3. Dress Your Greens: In a bowl, toss fresh romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing until well coated, ensuring every bite is creamy and tangy.
  4. Assemble the Flatbreads: On toasted flatbreads, layer the dressed romaine lettuce, sliced chicken, Parmesan cheese, and crunchy croutons or breadcrumbs. Add extra lemon zest or a drizzle of dressing on top for brightness.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Optionally, add freshly cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of herbs like parsley. Slice the flatbreads into manageable pieces and serve immediately for the best texture.

Notes

  • Use warm flatbreads: Toast just before assembling for a crispy texture.
  • Don’t overdress: Toss lettuce lightly to avoid soggy flatbreads.
  • Slice chicken evenly for consistent bites and neat presentation.
  • Fresh Parmesan is preferable for better flavor compared to pre-grated cheese.
  • Make your own croutons using leftover bread, garlic, and oil for extra crunch.
