Ingredients
- 2 flatbreads or naan breads
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup Caesar dressing, divided
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup croutons, crushed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place flatbreads on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
- In a bowl, combine chicken, garlic powder, black pepper, and 1/4 cup Caesar dressing.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the flatbreads.
- Top with mozzarella cheese and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Scatter cherry tomatoes over the flatbreads.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are crisp.
- Meanwhile, toss romaine lettuce with the remaining Caesar dressing and lemon juice.
- Remove flatbreads from the oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes.
- Top with dressed romaine lettuce.
- Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, and fresh parsley.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for a quick preparation.
- Add turkey bacon for extra flavor and crunch.
- Serve immediately after adding the lettuce to maintain crispness.
- Naan bread creates a chewier, heartier base.
- Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 2 days, though best enjoyed fresh.
