→ 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. Place chicken breasts in the mixture and turn to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken breasts for 6 to 7 minutes per side until fully cooked through. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before chopping into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion, sliced olives, crumbled feta, 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 or microwave for 30 seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Lay out each warm tortilla. Layer with shredded romaine lettuce, followed by a generous portion of Greek salad mixture, and top with chopped lemon chicken.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly to form a wrap. Slice in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

# Expert Advice:

  • The lemon marinade does all the heavy lifting while you chop vegetables
  • Its filling without that heavy, sluggish feeling some wraps leave behind
  • You can make the components ahead and assemble wraps in under two minutes
02 -
  • Dont skip resting the chicken or all the juices will run out onto your cutting board instead of staying in the meat
  • Assemble wraps right before eating, if they sit too long the salad moisture will soak through the tortilla
  • Season the salad properly, under-seasoned vegetables make the whole wrap taste flat
03 -
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that chicken reaches 165°F so you never have to guess if its done
  • Toast the tortillas lightly for extra flavor and a sturdier wrap that wont fall apart in your hands
