# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like restaurant food but uses things you probably already have on hand.
  • The flatbread gets beautifully crisp in the oven, almost like thin-crust pizza but lighter.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble everything in under ten minutes when hunger hits.
  • Its messy in the best way, the kind of meal you eat with your hands and dont apologize for.
02 -
  • Dont skip letting the chicken rest after grilling, or youll lose all the juices when you slice it.
  • If your flatbread is soft or doughy, bake it a minute or two longer until it feels sturdy enough to hold toppings without flopping.
  • Dress the lettuce separately so it doesnt get soggy sitting on a warm base.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken instead of guessing, it takes out all the worry about undercooking.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice so it drizzles instead of clumps.
  • Warm flatbreads straight from the oven make all the difference, they soften the cheese slightly and keep everything cohesive.
