Ingredients
  

Flatbread base
  • 4 flatbreads or naan Use flatbreads or naan that can bake until crisp.
Chicken & seasoning
  • 2 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced Keep pre-cooked chicken for fast assembly.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil For brushing the flatbread.
  • 1 clove garlic clove, minced Mix into the olive oil coating.
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder Adds extra garlic flavor.
  • 0.25 black pepper to taste Crack freshly if possible.
Toppings
  • 2 cup romaine lettuce, shredded Shred and keep crisp until serving.
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, shaved Shave for melt and texture.
  • 0.5 cup Caesar dressing Drizzle after baking so it stays creamy.
  • 1 lemon wedges for serving Serve on the side for a quick squeeze.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Bake the flatbread
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a sheet pan in the oven to heat while you prep the toppings.
  2. Brush flatbreads lightly with the olive oil mixed with minced garlic and garlic powder. Make an even coating so the edges blister and turn golden.
  3. Bake the flatbreads for 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden at the edges. Watch closely at the 8-minute mark for charred, browned spots along the rim.
Assemble and serve
  1. Remove from the oven and drizzle Caesar dressing over each flatbread. Use a light, even drizzle so the dressing streaks remain visible.
  2. Top each flatbread with shredded romaine, sliced chicken, and parmesan shavings. Arrange the romaine and chicken in a roughly even layer, then scatter parmesan over the surface.
  3. Finish with cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon, then slice and serve immediately. Serve right away for the crispiest base and best texture contrast.

Notes

Pro tip: shave parmesan and drizzle Caesar dressing after baking so it doesn’t soak into the crust. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 2 days, but expect the romaine to soften; re-crisp flatbread in a 425°F oven for 2–3 minutes. Freezing is not recommended because the romaine and dressing texture changes. Dietary swap: use a dairy-free Caesar-style dressing and parmesan substitute for a dairy-free version.
