# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It bridges the gap between pizza night and healthy eating without feeling like a compromise.
  • Everything comes together in under half an hour, even if youre cooking solo with no prep done ahead.
  • The crispy base soaks up just enough dressing to stay flavorful without turning soggy.
  • Leftovers actually hold up well for lunch the next day if you keep the salad separate.
02 -
  • Resting the chicken after cooking is crucial, if you slice it too soon all the juices run out and the meat turns dry.
  • Bake the flatbreads just until crisp but not rock hard, they need a little give to fold and eat comfortably.
  • Dress the salad right before assembling so the lettuce stays crunchy and doesnt wilt from sitting too long.
03 -
  • Grill the chicken outdoors if the weathers nice, the smoky char takes this to another level.
  • Use a pizza cutter to slice the assembled flatbreads cleanly without dragging the toppings around.
  • If your Caesar dressing is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water or lemon juice so it coats the lettuce more evenly.
