Tips:

Cut the chicken breast into thin strips so that it cooks evenly.
Add a pinch of black pepper to the chicken marinade for extra flavor.
Don’t overcook the Mu Shu Chicken filling; the vegetables should still be crisp.
You can make the pancakes ahead of time or cook them just before serving.

Additional suggestions:

Feel free to add other vegetables to the filling, such as bean sprouts, celery, or onions.
Use different types of meat, such as beef, lamb, or duck.
Make the pancakes with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

I hope this helps!
