Description
A quick and easy flatbread pizza topped with smoky grilled chicken, crisp romaine Caesar salad, and shaved Parmesan for a fresh and indulgent meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- Flatbread (store-bought or homemade; thin and sturdy like naan or pita)
- Olive oil (for brushing and marinating)
- Garlic powder
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups chopped romaine lettuce
- Caesar dressing (store-bought or homemade)
- Shaved Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
- Croutons (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper (for finishing)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Add chicken and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Preheat grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 5 minutes.
- Place marinated chicken on grill pan. Cook 6-7 minutes per side until grill marks form and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
- Brush flatbread lightly with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder and grated Parmesan evenly on top.
- Grill flatbread 2-3 minutes per side until crisp and golden, flipping carefully.
- Assemble pizza by layering sliced grilled chicken, romaine lettuce tossed in Caesar dressing, shaved Parmesan, and croutons if using. Grind black pepper over the top.
- Serve immediately while flatbread is crisp and chicken is warm.
Notes
Let chicken rest after grilling to keep it juicy. Brush flatbread lightly with olive oil to avoid sogginess. Serve immediately to maintain crispness. For gluten-free, use gluten-free flatbread or lettuce base. Variations include spicy honey drizzle or vegetarian toppings like portobello mushrooms.
