03 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
04 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
05 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

# How to Make It:

01 - Set the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Brush both sides of each flatbread with olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - In a mixing bowl, coat chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Grill or pan-cook the chicken over medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes per side until cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

06 - Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese melts and edges become golden and crisp.

08 - Slice flatbreads and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than ordering takeout, yet tastes like you fussed.
  • The contrast between crispy flatbread, warm melted cheese, and fresh cold greens keeps your mouth interested.
  • You can customize every single layer without ruining the whole thing.
02 -
  • Don't assemble the greens before baking—they'll wilt into mush and taste like regret instead of crisp freshness.
  • Cold romaine hitting warm melted cheese is the entire point; rushing to serve while everything is still steaming ruins that contrast.
03 -
  • Slice your chicken against the grain while it's still slightly warm—it's more tender and doesn't shred apart when you bite.
  • Buy a vegetable peeler specifically for cheese if you don't have one; the shards look better and taste less heavy than grated.
