# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Everything comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for those nights when takeout feels like the only option
- The combination of hot garlicky chicken and cool crisp vegetables creates those layers of texture that make each bite interesting
02 -
- Let the chicken rest for a couple minutes after cooking so those juices redistribute instead of running all over your cutting board
- Dry your vegetables thoroughly with paper towels or your wraps will get soggy within minutes, which is honestly heartbreaking
03 -
