# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The combination of warm cheesy bread and cool crisp lettuce creates perfect texture contrast
- Ready in 30 minutes but tastes like something from a fancy pizza place
02 -
- Do not skip the resting period for the chicken or those juices will end up on your cutting board instead of in the meat
- Add the lettuce right before serving or it will wilt from the heat of the flatbread
03 -
- Brush your flatbread with a little garlic butter before adding cheese for an extra flavor boost
- Let the cooked chicken rest for those full 5 minutes to lock in all the juices
