01 -
  • The crispy flatbread crust holds up beautifully to all those toppings

02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is non-negotiable or all those juices run out onto your cutting board
  • Do not skip brushing the flatbread with oil or you will end up with tough edges instead of crispy ones
  • Add the lettuce after baking or you will have wilted, sad greens instead of fresh crisp ones
  • The croutons go on last so they stay crunchy and do not get soggy from the dressing
03 -
  • Toast the flatbreads for 3 minutes before adding toppings for extra crunch
  • Use a vegetable peeler to get those beautiful paper-thin Parmesan shavings
  • Sprinkle a little extra Italian seasoning on the cheese before baking
  • Let the baked flatbreads cool for the full 2 minutes or the lettuce will wilt immediately
