# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Ready in under 30 minutes, which means dinner can happen on even your most chaotic nights.
  • The chicken actually stays juicy if you nail that 5-minute rest—trust me, I learned this the hard way with dried-out poultry disasters.
  • It's one of those meals that feels indulgent but keeps you satisfied for hours without that post-lunch energy crash.
02 -
  • That 5-minute rest after grilling sounds like overthinking it, but skipping it means dry chicken that tastes like a disappointment wrapped in a tortilla—I know because I've made that mistake more than once.
  • Homemade Caesar dressing is infinitely better than store-bought, but it does separate if you add the garlic too early, so whisk it in just before using or it turns gray and bitter.
  • Soggy wraps happen when you assemble too far in advance or when you layer wet ingredients directly against the tortilla, so add dressing last and eat within a few minutes for peak texture.
03 -
  • Pounding the chicken breasts to even thickness before grilling means they cook at the same rate and you avoid the frustrating problem of overcooked edges and an undercooked center.
  • Keep the romaine lettuce in a colander or salad spinner after washing—the drier it is, the longer the wrap stays crispy instead of turning into a soggy sandwich.
