# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It turns leftover chicken and a few pantry staples into something that feels intentional and exciting.
  • The contrast between warm, crisp flatbread and cool, tangy greens is ridiculously satisfying.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble it in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It works as a quick dinner, a shareable snack, or something to impress last minute guests without breaking a sweat.
02 -
  • Let the flatbreads cool for a minute or two before adding the lettuce, or the greens will wilt from the heat and lose their crunch.
  • Slice the chicken thinly against the grain so it's tender and easy to bite through, especially when you're eating this with your hands.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice so it drizzles easily over the toppings.
03 -
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the flatbread cleanly without dragging the toppings around.
  • If you're short on time, buy pre-grilled chicken strips from the deli section and skip the grill entirely.
  • Toast the flatbreads a little longer than you think you need to, a truly crisp base makes all the difference.
