# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between hot seasoned chicken and crisp cool lettuce makes every bite interesting
  • You get all the Caesar flavors you love without needing a fork and bowl
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing keeps all those juices inside instead of on your cutting board
  • Don't skip toasting the buns or the bottom will get soggy within minutes
03 -
  • Slice the chicken against the grain for the most tender bite
  • Shave the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler instead of grating it for those elegant thin curls
