# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for weeknight dinners when you want something that tastes way more impressive than the effort suggests.
  • The contrast between crispy, cheesy flatbread and cool, fresh romaine creates this satisfying texture play that just keeps you reaching for another slice.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble in minutes, or swap in rotisserie chicken if you're really pressed for time.
02 -
  • Soggy flatbread is the enemy, so don't drizzle dressing before baking and keep your greens as dry as possible before adding them.
  • The 2-minute cool-down after baking is crucial, or your cheese will be so hot it'll wilt everything the moment it hits the surface.
  • If your croutons are stale, they'll go soft in the dressing; add them as the very last step right before serving.
03 -
  • Season your chicken generously before cooking, not after; the seasoning needs time to develop flavor and create a savory crust.
  • Don't skip the rest period after cooking chicken—those 5 minutes make the difference between juicy slices and dry shreds.
  • If you're making these ahead for a party, assemble everything except the greens and croutons, then add those fresh elements just before serving.
