Ingredients
  

flatbreads or naan
  • 4 flatbreads or naan or naan
cooked chicken
  • 2 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced use fully cooked chicken breast
olive oil, garlic, and seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic clove, minced
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 black pepper to taste measure to preference
caesar toppings
  • 2 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, shaved
  • 0.5 cup caesar dressing
  • 1 lemon wedges for serving for finishing

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Prep and bake
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and place a sheet pan inside to heat up for better browning.
  2. Brush flatbreads lightly with a mixture of olive oil, minced garlic, and garlic powder, coating the surface evenly.
  3. Bake flatbreads for 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden at the edges, with visible browning on the corners.
Assemble and finish
  1. Remove from oven and drizzle Caesar dressing over each flatbread in long lines.
  2. Top with shredded romaine, sliced chicken, and shaved parmesan so the layers are evenly distributed across the center.
  3. Finish with cracked black pepper and a squeeze of lemon, slice, and serve immediately.

Notes

For best crunch, bake the flatbreads until the edges look deeply golden before adding toppings, then serve right away so the romaine stays crisp. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; rewarm flatbread in a hot oven to help re-crisp, and add fresh romaine if you can. Freezing is not recommended for assembled flatbreads. Dietary swap: use a dairy-free Caesar dressing and parmesan-style vegan shreds to make it lactose-free.
