# How-To Steps:

01 - Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add chicken breasts and turn to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
02 - Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
03 - Combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and parsley in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and red wine vinegar, sprinkle with oregano, and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Warm tortillas or flatbreads in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
05 - Lay out each tortilla. Add a layer of shredded romaine, a generous scoop of Greek salad, and top with chopped lemon chicken.
06 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly into a wrap. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately while warm.

03 -
