Chicken
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for cooking
Flatbread Assembly
- 4 pieces flatbread (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray to prepare for baking the flatbreads later.
- Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest before slicing it thinly.
- Prepare Garlic-Soy Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce and minced garlic to create a flavorful drizzle for the flatbreads.
- Assemble Flatbreads: On each flatbread, evenly spread Caesar dressing. Then layer with sliced cooked chicken, chopped romaine lettuce, and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Drizzle the garlic-soy mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake Flatbreads: Place the assembled flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until heated through and the edges of the flatbread are crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately. Optionally, offer extra Caesar dressing on the side for added flavor.
Notes
- Substitute grilled shrimp or tofu for the chicken for a different protein option.
- Enhance flavors by adding toppings like cherry tomatoes or jalapeños for extra zest and color.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days; reheat in a toaster oven to maintain flatbread crispness.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
