# Cooking Tips:
01 -
- It delivers all the satisfaction of a Caesar salad but in warm, melty, handheld form
- The whole thing comes together in under 30 minutes, perfect for those nights when takeout sounds too tempting
- You can prep everything ahead and just assemble when hunger strikes
02 -
- Never dress the lettuce more than 2 minutes before serving or the flatbread underneath will get sad and soggy
- Letting the chicken rest is non negotiable, cutting into it immediately will let all those precious juices escape onto your cutting board
03 -
- Toast the flatbread for 2 minutes before adding cheese to prevent any sogginess from the toppings
- Warm your Caesar dressing slightly in the microwave for 30 seconds so it does not instantly cool down your chicken
