# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 35 minutes flat, making weeknight dinners feel way less like a chore.
  • The warm, buttery naan against cool, crisp romaine creates this textural contrast that never gets boring.
  • Grilled chicken stays ridiculously juicy when you rest it properly, and that detail alone changes everything about how satisfying these wraps feel.
02 -
  • If you skip resting the chicken after grilling, all those flavorful juices escape onto your cutting board instead of staying in the meat, and the whole wrap suffers for it.
  • Caesar dressing has a strong flavor that can overpower if you're not careful, so start with less and taste as you go instead of drenching everything at once.
03 -
  • If naan isn't available or you want to lighten things up, butter-warmed whole wheat tortillas work beautifully and cut about 15 minutes off prep time.
  • Make the Caesar salad component just before you grill the chicken so the lettuce doesn't wilt, and keep everything separate until the last moment of assembly.
