# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels like restaurant food but comes together in your own kitchen with almost no fuss.
  • The contrast between warm, crispy flatbread and cool, crunchy lettuce is weirdly addictive.
  • You can prep the chicken ahead or use rotisserie, making it faster than ordering takeout.
  • It works as lunch, dinner, or something to share when friends drop by unannounced.
02 -
  • Don't dress all the lettuce at once or it'll wilt before you can assemble everything.
  • Letting the chicken rest after grilling is non-negotiable if you want it juicy instead of dry.
  • If your flatbreads are thin, check them at 5 minutes because they can burn quickly.
03 -
  • Use a grill pan if you don't have an outdoor grill, it gives the chicken those charred lines that make everything taste better.
  • Warm your flatbread just before assembling so the contrast between hot and cold really comes through.
  • If you're in a rush, grab a rotisserie chicken from the store and skip the grilling step entirely.
