Ingredients
  

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 whole wheat or spinach wraps

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium ripe tomato, diced

1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Tzatziki sauce or your favorite dressing, for drizzling

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Whisk the mixture until it is well blended. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are thoroughly coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor infusion.

    Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. To prevent sticking, lightly oil the grill grates using a brush or paper towel with a bit of oil.

      Grill the Chicken: Once the grill is hot, remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill and cook for approximately 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and boasts attractive grill marks.

        Rest & Slice the Chicken: After grilling, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in juicy chicken. Once rested, slice the chicken into thin strips.

          Assemble the Wraps: On a clean surface, lay out the whole wheat or spinach wraps. Start by adding a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves to each wrap. Next, layer on the diced tomato, cucumber slices, and thin red onion. Finally, place the sliced grilled chicken on top and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, if using.

            Drizzle & Roll the Wraps: Drizzle tzatziki sauce or your favorite dressing over the fillings. Fold in the sides of each wrap and then tightly roll from the bottom up to encase all the delicious ingredients.

              Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper for an on-the-go meal. Indulge in your refreshing and flavorful Lemon Garlic Herb Grilled Chicken Wraps!
