04 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# How to make it:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F.
02 - Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
03 - Place flatbreads on a baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and grated parmesan. Bake for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are crisp.
04 - Remove flatbreads from the oven. Arrange sliced chicken on top.
05 - In a bowl, toss romaine with Caesar dressing. Pile dressed lettuce over the chicken.
06 - Garnish with shaved parmesan, black pepper, and optional cherry tomatoes. Slice and serve immediately.

# Expert tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between warm, crispy flatbread and cool, crisp lettuce hits every texture craving in one bite
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout but tastes like something from a proper restaurant
02 -
  • Let the flatbread cool for just a minute after baking so the cheese firms up slightly and the lettuce does not wilt immediately
  • The key is slicing the chicken very thin so you get some in every bite instead of having to saw through thick pieces
03 -
  • Brush the flatbread with garlic butter before adding cheese for an extra flavor layer that people will notice but not quite identify
  • Warm your Caesar dressing slightly before tossing with the lettuce so it coats everything more evenly and clings better
