# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes but tastes like you've been in the kitchen all afternoon.
  • The warm flatbread and melted cheese create this perfect textural contrast against the fresh, crispy lettuce.
  • You can customize every single topping without changing the core magic of the dish.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after cooking—those 5 minutes make the difference between juicy slices and dry ones.
  • The key to staying crispy is assembling everything in the right order: cheese and chicken go on before baking, greens and dressing go on after, so nothing gets soggy.
03 -
  • Keep all your fresh toppings in separate bowls until the last moment so you can control the moisture and make sure everything stays crisp and textured.
  • If you're cooking for a crowd, partially bake the flatbreads with cheese and chicken first, then let people customize with dressing and toppings—everyone gets exactly what they want.
