03 - Place garlic naan breads on prepared baking sheet. Brush each naan lightly with olive oil.
04 - Distribute Caesar-dressed chicken evenly over naan breads.
05 - Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over chicken.
06 - Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly and naan edges are golden.

08 - Remove pizzas from oven. Immediately top with dressed romaine and an extra grind of black pepper.
09 - Slice and serve warm.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • Garlic naan does the heavy lifting so you skip the dough-making stress entirely.
  • Caesar salad flavors on a warm pizza base feels like a sneaky way to eat salad and comfort food at the same time.
  • Ready in 30 minutes flat, which means dinner can actually happen on a Tuesday night.
02 -
  • Add the romaine after baking, not before, or you'll end up with warm sad lettuce instead of the crisp-meets-warm contrast that makes this whole thing work.
  • Don't skip brushing the naan with olive oil because it prevents them from getting hard and leathery on the edges where the cheese doesn't reach.
03 -
  • Use store-bought Caesar dressing without apology because this is not the recipe where homemade dressing moves the needle enough to justify the extra work.
  • If you find your naan getting too dark on the edges before the cheese fully melts, move the baking sheet down one oven rack to give it gentler heat.
