- 2 store-bought naan flatbreads or pita/pizza dough
- 1 ½ cups cooked chicken breast sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- Brush flatbread with olive oil and pre-bake for 3–5 minutes.
- Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing on each base.
- Sprinkle shredded parmesan evenly.
- Add cooked chicken pieces, spacing evenly across the flatbread.

Notes
Use garlic naan for extra flavor.
Don’t skip the pre-bake—it keeps the base from turning soggy.
Always add lettuce last for freshness.
Bacon, avocado, or spicy Caesar variations can enhance the dish.
Great for quick dinners, game nights, or casual entertaining.
