5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1To prevent a soggy wrap, ensure your romaine lettuce is thoroughly dry before chopping and mixing.
- 2For a crispy exterior, lightly toast the assembled wrap in a dry, non-stick pan for 1-2 minutes per side.
- 3Add croutons to the filling just before rolling for an extra crunch.
- 4For meal prep, store the cooked chicken, dressing, and chopped lettuce in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble just before serving.
- 5Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) without overcooking it.
