We know fall is on the horizon but we’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer and our favorite thing about it, grilling. So while the weather’s still warm, let’s bust out the grill to make these delicious Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Flatbread.
Ingredients for Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Flatbread
This Caesar Salad Flatbread only requires a few easy to find ingredients. Here’s what you’re going to need:
Rhodes Bread Dough: Grab a pack of Rhodes bread dough loaves from the freezer section. You’ll need one loaf for this recipe. Keep the rest on hand to make more easy dinners, appetizers and desserts. Check at the end of this post for recipe ideas.
Caesar Salad Kit: I decided to cheat a bit and use a salad kit to make things super simple. Grab your favorite salad kit and toss it together for this recipe. You can also buy the individual ingredients and mix up your own caesar salad with romaine, parmesan, caesar dressing and croutons if you wish.
Caesar Dressing: You’ll also need a bottle of your favorite caesar dressing to marinate the chicken. You can also use it to add a drizzle to the finished flatbread if you like a little extra dressing.
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast: Use one or two chicken breasts for this recipe, depending on their size and the amount of chicken you want on your flatbread. The chicken will be marinated in caesar dressing to give extra flavor.
Prep the Bread Dough
The first thing you need to do is rise the bread dough. Spray a loaf pan with non stick spray then add one loaf of frozen bread dough to the prepared pan. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise until doubled in size.
The amount of time this takes will depend on the temperature of your home. It should take between four to seven hours.
Marinate Chicken
After you have the bread thawing, you can marinate the chicken. Place the chicken breast in a bowl and toss with caesar dressing. Cover and place in the refrigerator to marinate until the dough is done rising.
Remove the chicken from the fridge when it’s time to heat the grill. This will give about 15 minutes to remove a bit of the chill before grilling the chicken.
Prep the Flatbread
Once the bread is fully risen, preheat the grill to 400 degrees F. While the grill is heating, roll out the dough.
Flour a clean surface and roll out the dough until it’s abou 1/4 inch thick. It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle so don’t stress about that.
Grill the Flatbread and Chicken
Add the chicken to the grill. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken. Remove to a cutting board and cool for 5 minutes before dicing.
Brush one side of the dough with vegetable or canola oil. Place the dough on the grill, oil side down. Grill for 5 minutes. Before flipping, brush oil on the second side. Flip and grill another 5 minutes.
Assemble the Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad Fladbread
Dice chicken into small bite-size pieces. Add to a large bowl. Add salad kit ingredients to bowl with the chicken and toss well.
Spread chicken caesar salad onto the grilled flatbread. Cut into triangles and serve right away.
The bread has the perfect char and chew on the outside while it still stays fluffy in the middle. You can even see the amazing fluffy texture in some of the close up photos. We think you’re going to love the combination of chewy flatbread and cool, crisp, creamy salad.
More Flatbread Ideas
While we adored this chicken caesar salad flatbread, there are so many delicious combinations you could create for variety. Here’s some fun ideas:
Buffalo Chicken Salad Flatbread: Use a caesar salad kit but instead of marinating the chicken in caesar dressing, make grilled buffalo chicken instead.
Southwest Chicken Salad Flatbread: Grab a southwest salad kit and top with margarita chicken and fresh pico de gallo.
BBQ Chicken Salad Flatbread: Use a bbq salad kit and slather the chicken in barbecue sauce as you grill it.
Flatbread Pizza: Skip the salad and make a pizza with the flatbread. While the second side of the flatbread is grilling, slather the already cooked side with your favorite sauce then top with cheese and toppings. Close the lid of the grill and cook until the cheese is gooey and melted.
No matter what you add to the flatbread, you are sure to love it. Let us know your fun flavor combo ideas in the comments below.
