Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large flatbreads
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup Caesar dressing
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ¼ cup croutons (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
- If you haven’t already cooked your chicken, grill, bake, or poach it. Season with salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill for 6-7 minutes on each side or bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before shredding or dicing.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Caesar dressing, adjusting the amount to your preference.
- Chop the romaine lettuce and rinse it under cold water, then spin dry.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and set aside. Prepare croutons if using.
- Lay out the flatbreads on a clean surface.
- Spoon the chicken and dressing mixture onto each flatbread, spreading evenly.
- Add chopped romaine, halved cherry tomatoes, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Add croutons if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- For warm flatbreads, heat a skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the assembled flatbreads for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Alternatively, place on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a minute. Cut into halves or quarters.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of Caesar dressing if desired. Pair with a side of extra romaine or a light salad.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- Feel free to customize with additional toppings like avocado or bacon for extra flavor.
