# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's genuinely filling enough to quiet your hunger but light enough that you don't crash afterward.
  • The whole thing comes together in less time than it takes to wait for delivery, and you actually know what's in it.
  • Lettuce wraps feel fancy but require almost zero cooking skill, which is exactly my speed on busy days.
02 -
  • If you prep the lettuce leaves hours in advance, dry them thoroughly and wrap them in paper towels in the fridge, otherwise they'll wilt and ruin your whole plan.
  • The chicken salad itself keeps beautifully for three days, so you can make it ahead and just assemble the wraps when you're ready to eat, which is honestly the way to go if you're feeding multiple people.
03 -
  • Rotisserie chicken saves you twenty minutes and honestly tastes better than chicken you cook at home unless you're really good at it, so don't feel guilty about taking that shortcut.
  • The secret to this tasting restaurant-quality is using full-fat Greek yogurt and fresh herbs, so invest in those two things and let everything else be whatever you have on hand.
