‘Tis the season of chaos at our house! For a family with three kids that runs a candy business, December is a constant whirlwind. We are working around the clock to fill toffee orders, so meals need to be speedy and so simple they require no thought whatsoever!
That’s where my Chicken BLT Caesar Naan flatbreads come to the rescue. It’s a few minutes of chopping plus a couple of minutes of heating and dinner is on the table! We’re leaning hard on the grocery store for this meal, with packaged Naan, Caeser dressing and my secret weapon, premade chicken tenders (available in the deli department). The Naan flatbreads warm up in no time, and following the microwave cooking directions on the bacon package will save you tons of cooking time and cleanup!
The best part about this recipe is that it also doubles as an appetizer to share at holiday parties! The red bacon and tomatoes coupled with the bright green lettuce give it a fun and festive flair perfect for your upcoming celebrations!

*The deli departments of most local grocery stores offer premade chicken tenders.
**We like the Marie’s brand of Caesar dressing, which can be found in the refrigerated produce section near the bagged salad mixes.
As a wife and mom of three young boys, I often consider myself a master “chaos coordinator.” Between running our family business, Chapel Hill Toffee, managing our household and balancing busy schedules, I love to create quick and simple recipes that I know my family will enjoy – and my kids will actually eat!
