Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat pita breads

1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup Romaine lettuce, shredded

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

½ cup Caesar dressing

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Garlic Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, combine the diced chicken, olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is heated through and coated with the garlic mixture.

      Assemble Pita Pizzas: Place the pita breads on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing over each pita. Evenly distribute the garlic chicken mixture on top of the dressing.

        Add Toppings: Sprinkle both mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the chicken. Top with halved cherry tomatoes.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges of the pitas are crispy.

            Finish with Freshness: Once out of the oven, remove the pita pizzas and top with fresh Romaine lettuce for crunch. Drizzle more Caesar dressing if desired.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Cut into wedges and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra kick.
