Looking for an easy and delicious weeknight dinner idea? I know I can’t be the only house that is constantly trying to answer the “What’s for dinner?” question. I swear, I don’t know what to make some nights even when I have meals prepped in the freezer and a meal kit in the refrigerator. Sometimes you just don’t feel like eating the meals you have ready…so you need an easy idea that the whole family will love. Like these Grilled Chicken Caesar flatbreads.
Plus, it’s a fun way to eat salad 🙂 And maybe a sneaky parenting hack to get your kiddos (or spouse!) to eat more vegetables.
So, what exactly is a Chicken Caesar Salad Flatbread? Simply put, Caesar pizza is a delicious and unique twist on the classic Caesar salad and traditional pizza.
Can you substitute or add toppings to your Caesar flatbread?
Of course! Feel free to get creative and encourage your kids to do the same. Pizza night is a great way to kids involved in the kitchen, have them help with picking out toppings and assembling the flatbreads. You can choose your favorite pizza crust (naan, thin, thick, whole-grain, gluten-free, etc.) and add a variety of toppings, such as grilled chicken, bacon, croutons, tomatoes, different types of cheese and lettuce, to create your new favorite pizza.
If you have leftover Caesar salad ingredients or grilled chicken, you can easily repurpose them into a Caesar salad pizza the next day. This helps reduce food waste and adds variety to your meal plan.
Speaking of leftovers, if you have some leftover Marie’s Caesar Dressing after making your Chicken Caesar Flatbreads, here are some more yummy and nutritious recipes that use Caesar dressing.
