# Recipe Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It bridges the gap between fresh and indulgent without feeling heavy or complicated.
  • Everything comes together in about 30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknights or last minute guests.
  • The contrast between the warm crispy flatbread and the cold crunchy lettuce is unexpectedly addictive.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead or use rotisserie to make it even faster.
02 -
  • Let the flatbreads cool for a minute or two after baking so the lettuce stays crisp instead of wilting on contact.
  • Resting the chicken after grilling is non negotiable, it makes the difference between juicy slices and dry ones.
  • Dress the lettuce separately before topping so you control the amount of dressing and avoid a soggy base.
03 -
  • Brush the flatbread edges with a little extra olive oil for an even crispier, more golden crust.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender, easy to bite pieces.
  • Drizzle a bit of Caesar dressing over the top just before serving for an extra hit of flavor and visual appeal.
