# What You Need:

→ Lemon Chicken

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
04 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
05 - 1 garlic clove, minced
06 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
07 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

→ Greek Salad

08 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
09 - 1 cup cucumber, diced
10 - 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
11 - 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
12 - 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
13 - 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
14 - 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
15 - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
16 - 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
17 - Salt and pepper to taste

→ Assembly

18 - 4 large flour tortillas
19 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat thoroughly. 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 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
03 - In a large bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta cheese, and 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 - Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for 30 seconds until warm and pliable.
05 - Lay out each warm tortilla. Layer with shredded romaine lettuce, a generous portion of Greek salad mixture, and chopped lemon chicken.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half diagonally if desired and serve immediately while warm.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • The lemon marinade transforms ordinary chicken into something impossibly juicy and fragrant
  • You get all the flavors of a Greek salad without needing utensils or even a proper table
  • Everything can be prepped ahead and assembled in literally minutes
02 -
  • Cold tortillas will crack when you try to roll them, so warming them is not optional
  • Letting the chicken rest after cooking keeps all the juices inside instead of on your cutting board
  • The salad can be made hours ahead, but add the feta at the last minute so it does not become mushy
03 -
  • Pound your chicken breasts to even thickness before marinating for more uniform cooking
  • Pat your cucumber dry after chopping if you are planning to make these ahead for lunch
