# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It delivers that restaurant-style crunch and flavor without the wait or the bill.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead and assemble everything in minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It works as a quick weeknight dinner or something impressive enough to serve guests.
  • Every bite gives you crispy, creamy, savory, and fresh all at once.
02 -
  • Don't dress all the lettuce at once or it will get soggy, toss it just before assembling.
  • Let the chicken rest after grilling or all the juices will run out when you slice it.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, watch them closely in the oven because they can go from crisp to burnt in seconds.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan indoors if you don't have access to an outdoor grill, the char marks add so much flavor.
  • Freshly grated parmesan melts better and tastes sharper than the pre-shredded kind.
  • If you're using rotisserie chicken, toss it with a little olive oil and Italian herbs before adding it to warm it through.
