Tips for the best result

• Do not make the pancakes too thick or they will be harder to fold
• Keep the cooked pancakes warm so they stay soft and flexible
• Rest the chicken before slicing to keep it juicy
• Use crisp romaine and add it just before serving
• Serve immediately so the pancakes stay soft and the lettuce stays fresh
