Creamy Chicken Caesar Flatbread

There’s something magical about the combination of creamy Caesar dressing, juicy chicken, and crispy flatbread. This Chicken Caesar Flatbread quickly became a lunchtime hero and a dinnertime lifesaver in our house. I remember the first time I made it—completely on a whim, using leftovers from a chicken Caesar salad the night before. I layered everything onto a piece of flatbread, popped it in the oven, and hoped for the best. The result? Absolute flatbread perfection. The golden, slightly crispy crust, the gooey melted cheese, and that familiar Caesar flavor made everyone at the table light up.

This recipe is now a regular in our weekly meal plan, especially on those nights when I need something fast but still crave something comforting and delicious. It’s one of those dishes that looks impressive but takes minimal effort—exactly the kind of win busy moms need. Plus, it’s super customizable. You can add more cheese, sneak in a few extra veggies, or even swap out the protein depending on what’s in your fridge.

I love how this recipe bridges the gap between pizza night and salad night—no more choosing between the two. It’s creamy, crispy, and full of flavor in every bite. My kids gobble it up (even the lettuce!), and my husband has declared it better than any flatbread he’s had at a restaurant. It’s the kind of simple joy that reminds you why home cooking is so special.

Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe

Can I use store-bought flatbread?
Absolutely! Store-bought flatbread works beautifully here. Just make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold toppings without getting soggy.

Do I have to use romaine lettuce?
Romaine gives that classic Caesar crunch, but feel free to use any crisp lettuce or even arugula for a peppery twist.

Can I make it ahead of time?
You can prep the ingredients ahead, but assemble and bake right before serving for the best texture. The lettuce should be added after baking.

What kind of chicken should I use?
Grilled, roasted, or rotisserie chicken all work great. This is a perfect recipe for using up leftovers.

Is it kid-friendly?
Very! The familiar flavors and cheesy goodness make it a hit with kids. You can even let them help assemble their own flatbreads.

What You Need to Make Chicken Caesar Flatbread

Ingredients:

2 flatbreads (naan, pita, or store-bought flatbread)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, chopped

1/2 cup Caesar dressing (plus more for drizzling)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Special Tools:

Baking sheet

Parchment paper (optional, for easy cleanup)

How to Make Chicken Caesar Flatbread

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired.

Lay the flatbreads on the baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing over each one, leaving a small border.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the flatbreads, then top with chopped chicken and a light dusting of Parmesan.

Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 1–2 minutes. Top with chopped romaine lettuce and an extra drizzle of Caesar dressing.

Finish with black pepper and a sprinkle of chives or parsley if using.

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy the perfect blend of salad and flatbread in every bite!

Tips for Making the Best Chicken Caesar Flatbread

Use freshly grilled or leftover rotisserie chicken for the best texture and flavor.

Add the lettuce after baking to keep it fresh and crisp.

Customize with extra toppings like cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, or even red onion slices for added depth.

Want it vegetarian? Swap the chicken for roasted chickpeas or grilled tofu.

Make it a meal by serving with a side of extra Caesar salad or roasted veggies.
