# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like restaurant food but you can make it in your pajamas without breaking a sweat.
  • The contrast between warm crispy flatbread and cold Caesar-dressed greens is oddly addictive.
  • You can use rotisserie chicken and skip half the work without losing any of the flavor.
  • It's impressive enough to serve guests but forgiving enough for a Tuesday night.
02 -
  • If you overdress the lettuce before putting it on the flatbread, it'll get soggy and limp within minutes.
  • Resting the chicken after grilling is non-negotiable or you'll lose all that flavorful juice the second you slice into it.
  • Using cold lettuce straight from the fridge makes the temperature contrast so much better.
03 -
  • Grate your own parmesan instead of using pre-shredded, it melts better and tastes infinitely more alive.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them at the 5-minute mark because they can go from golden to charred in a blink.
  • For a richer flavor, brush the flatbreads with garlic-infused olive oil before baking.
