# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- It comes together faster than ordering takeout, and tastes infinitely better.
- One wrap is hearty enough for lunch but light enough that you won't feel sluggish afterward.
- The chicken stays tender when you let it rest, and that small step makes all the difference in texture.
02 -
- Don't skip the resting step—I learned this the hard way when I sliced chicken straight off the heat and ended up with dry, stringy pieces.
- Warm tortillas make all the difference; a cold one will crack and fall apart, but a warm one bends without protest.
- Layer the dressing onto the lettuce before assembly, not on the tortilla itself, so everything stays together.
03 -
- A meat thermometer takes the guesswork out of doneness—165°F is the magic number, and hitting it exactly means juicy chicken every single time.
- Slice your chicken against the grain so each bite is tender rather than stringy, and it will be much more pleasant to eat in a wrap.
