01 - 4 large flatbreads (naan or pita)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil

→ Chicken

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

# Method:

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

09 - Slice flatbreads and serve immediately.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 30 minutes, which means dinner on a busy night without the guilt of takeout.
  • Crispy flatbread and melted cheese create texture contrast that makes every bite feel intentional and satisfying.
  • The toppings are flexible enough to raid your fridge, but structured enough that nothing feels like you're just throwing things together.
02 -
  • Cold toppings on warm flatbread is the secret—hot cheese and lettuce together is sad, but hot cheese meeting cold crisp lettuce is magic.
  • Don't assemble everything and then bake it; the lettuce needs to go on after the oven so it stays fresh and crunchy.
03 -
  • Pound your chicken to even thickness so it cooks uniformly and doesn't dry out in spots.
  • Add the cold toppings after the oven so the lettuce stays crisp and doesn't wilt from residual heat.
