- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Assemble the Pizza: Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing over the pizza crust. Evenly distribute the seasoned chicken on top.
- Add Cheese & Vegetables: Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken. Then, layer the chopped romaine lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes over the cheese.
- Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Add Croutons & Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle croutons (if using) over the top. Optionally, garnish with fresh basil or parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
