Caesar Chicken Flatbread (Printable Version)

Golden flatbread topped with grilled chicken, fresh romaine, Parmesan, and creamy Caesar dressing in under 30 minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Flatbread Base

01 - 2 large flatbreads or naan
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Grilled Chicken

03 - 2 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
04 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
05 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Caesar Topping

08 - 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
09 - 1/3 cup Caesar dressing
10 - 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
12 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ Garnish

13 - Extra Parmesan shavings
14 - Lemon wedges (optional)

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush both sides of flatbreads lightly with olive oil and place on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes until warmed and slightly crisp.
02 - Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook 4-5 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.
05 - Finish with additional Parmesan shavings and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but comes together in under 30 minutes, no kneading or waiting required.
  • You get the best of both worlds: warm, crispy flatbread and cool, crunchy salad in every bite.
  • It's easy to customize with whatever toppings or proteins you already have on hand.
  • Clean-up is minimal—just one skillet and a baking sheet.
02 -
  • Let the chicken rest after cooking or it'll dry out when you slice it—those 5 minutes make all the difference.
  • Don't dress the salad until you're ready to assemble, or the lettuce will wilt and lose its crunch.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them at 3 minutes in the oven so they don't burn.
03 -
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the chicken if you have one—it gives a better sear and keeps the meat juicy.
  • Grate your own Parmesan instead of using pre-grated; the flavor is sharper and it melts better on the warm chicken.
  • A quick squeeze of lemon right before serving brightens everything and balances the richness of the Caesar dressing.
