# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in half an hour, which means you can make it between meetings or right after school pickup without losing your mind.
  • The honey mustard dressing is so good you will start putting it on everything from salads to leftover roast chicken.
  • You can prep the chicken and dressing ahead, then just assemble wraps when hunger strikes.
  • It tastes like takeout but costs a fraction of the price and you know exactly what goes into it.
02 -
  • Do not skip letting the chicken rest after cooking, those two minutes let the juices redistribute so every bite stays moist.
  • Warm your tortillas or they will tear when you try to roll them, I have wasted too many wraps learning this.
  • If your dressing feels too thick, whisk in a teaspoon of water or extra lemon juice to loosen it up.
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken, guessing leads to overcooked dry tenders or undercooked risky ones.
  • Double the dressing recipe and keep extra in a jar, it turns any boring salad or sandwich into something you actually want to eat.
  • If you want a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne or a drizzle of hot sauce to the dressing.
