To achieve the freshest and most vibrant salad topping for your Crispy Garlic Chicken Caesar Pita Pizzas, you need to ensure that the Romaine lettuce is dressed properly. Start by rinsing the Romaine leaves under cold water, making sure to remove any dirt or debris. Pat the lettuce dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to eliminate excess moisture. This step is crucial, as wet lettuce can lead to a soggy pizza.

Ingredients
  

2 large pita bread

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup Romaine lettuce, chopped

½ cup Caesar dressing

1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the diced chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

      Assemble the Pita Pizzas: Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet. Divide the sautéed garlic chicken evenly between the pita breads, spreading it out to cover the surface.

        Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Parmesan cheese generously over the chicken layer on the pitas.

          Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the pitas are crispy.

            Prepare the Salad Topping: While the pizzas are baking, combine the chopped Romaine lettuce with Caesar dressing in a bowl and toss to coat evenly.

              Finish and Serve: Once the pita pizzas are out of the oven, top them with the dressed Romaine salad and cherry tomatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley.

                Slice and Enjoy: Cut the pita pizzas into quarters and serve immediately while crispy and hot.
