# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels like takeout but comes together in your own kitchen in under 30 minutes.
  • The contrast between warm crispy flatbread and cool creamy Caesar salad is ridiculously satisfying.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead or use rotisserie to make it even faster.
  • It's flexible enough to serve as lunch, dinner, or sliced up as a party appetizer.
02 -
  • Don't overdress the lettuce or it will turn the flatbread soggy, start with half and drizzle more on top.
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or all the juices will run out when you slice it.
  • Assemble right before serving, this isn't a make-ahead dish or the textures suffer.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan indoors if you don't have access to an outdoor grill, the char marks add so much flavor.
  • Warm your Caesar dressing slightly before drizzling, it melts into the flatbread and tastes richer.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving for brightness.
