# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They're elegant enough for a dinner party but easy enough to make on a weeknight without stress.
  • Every bite has texture and flavor—charred chicken, crisp lettuce, crunchy croutons, and tangy dressing all work together.
  • You can prep everything ahead and assemble just before serving, which means less panic when guests arrive.
02 -
  • Don't skip letting the chicken rest after grilling—it makes threading them onto skewers so much easier and keeps them from falling apart.
  • If you're making these ahead, assemble them no more than 30 minutes before serving or the croutons will get soggy from the dressing and lettuce moisture.
03 -
  • Cut your chicken into uniform pieces so they grill evenly and cook at the same rate—no raw centers or overcooked edges.
  • Don't move the chicken too much while it's grilling; let it sit for a few minutes to develop that golden crust that makes everything taste better.
