# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat your oven to 425°F.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in half an hour but tastes like you planned it all week.
  • The contrast between warm crispy flatbread and cold crunchy lettuce is unexpectedly perfect.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken and skip half the work without losing any of the flavor.
  • Its fancy enough for company but easy enough for a Tuesday.
02 -
  • Let the flatbreads cool for a minute or two before adding the lettuce or it will wilt into a sad soggy mess.
  • Resting the chicken before slicing keeps all the juices inside instead of running out onto your cutting board.
  • Toss the lettuce with only half the dressing first so you can control the final drizzle and avoid sogginess.
03 -
  • Brush the flatbread with garlic-infused olive oil before baking for an extra layer of flavor that makes everyone ask what you did differently.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water or lemon juice to make it easier to drizzle.
  • Grill extra chicken and keep it in the fridge so you can throw this together in ten minutes on a busy night.
