Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 large lemon

Zest of 1 large lemon

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 whole wheat tortillas or wraps

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

1 large ripe tomato, diced

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Tzatziki sauce for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined. Place the chicken breasts into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse (marinating for up to 4 hours enhances the flavor even more).

    Preheat the Grill: While the chicken is marinating, preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Make sure it’s nice and hot for optimal grill marks.

      Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and you see beautiful grill marks. Once done, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the juices locked in.

        Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken is resting, place the whole wheat tortillas on the grill or in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes, just until warm and pliable.

          Assemble the Wraps: Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Take one warm tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a handful of fresh baby spinach to the center. Layer on the grilled chicken strips, followed by cucumber slices, diced tomato, and a sprinkle of feta cheese if desired.

            Add Tzatziki Sauce: For an extra layer of flavor, drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top of the wrapped ingredients.

              Wrap It Up: Gently fold the sides of the tortilla inward to contain the filling, then roll it from the bottom up tightly to enclose everything nicely. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.

                Serve and Enjoy: Cut each wrap in half diagonally for an appealing presentation. Serve immediately with additional tzatziki sauce or alongside a refreshing side salad for a complete meal.
