03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
07 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Greek Salad

08 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
09 - 1 cup cucumber, diced
10 - 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
11 - 1/2 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
12 - 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
13 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
14 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
15 - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
16 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
17 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Assembly

18 - 4 large flour tortillas or Greek-style flatbreads
19 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

# Method:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese, and fresh parsley. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar. Sprinkle with oregano and toss gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Warm tortillas or flatbreads in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, or microwave for 15 to 20 seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Lay out each tortilla on a clean work surface. Layer with shredded romaine lettuce, followed by a generous portion of Greek salad, then top with chopped lemon chicken.
06 - Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla approximately 2 inches toward the center. Starting from the bottom edge, roll tightly away from you into a wrap. Slice in half diagonally if desired.
07 - Serve wraps immediately while warm. Optional accompaniments include tzatziki sauce or hummus on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in one kitchen session with no fancy equipment or hard to find ingredients.
  • The lemon marinade makes the chicken incredibly tender and flavorful without any babysitting.
  • You get the freshness of a salad and the comfort of a handheld meal in every bite.
  • Leftovers actually taste better the next day once the flavors meld together in the fridge.
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the chicken after cooking or all the juices will run out when you chop it, leaving you with dry pieces.
  • Warm tortillas are non negotiable because cold ones crack and tear the moment you try to roll them.
  • Make the salad right before assembling so the vegetables stay crisp and dont release too much water.
  • If youre meal prepping, pack the chicken, salad, and tortillas separately and assemble just before eating.
03 -
  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before marinating so they cook evenly and you dont end up with dry edges and raw centers.
  • Always taste your salad before assembling the wraps and adjust the salt, vinegar, or olive oil to get the balance just right.
  • If your tortillas keep tearing, try steaming them for a few seconds in a damp towel to make them more pliable.
