How to Marinate and Cook the Chicken
1. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined. 2. Marinate the Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place them in a deep bowl, pour over the marinade, and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Cook the marinated chicken breasts for about 6 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips for the wraps.

How to Make the Fresh Herb Salad
In a large bowl, combine the sliced tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Add the chopped parsley and dill, and toss gently to mix. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and lemon juice until emulsified. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until evenly coated. For a sweet and tangy twist, drizzle pomegranate molasses over the top just before serving (optional but highly recommended!).

Rana’s Notes!
What To Do If Your Wrap Breaks
Warm the Bread: Warming your pita or tortilla makes it more pliable. Just a few seconds in a microwave or a minute on a hot griddle can make all the difference
Don't Overfill: It can be tempting to load up your wrap with all your favorite ingredients, but too much filling can make the wrap break. Aim for a balanced ratio of ingredients to wrap.
Layer Strategically: Place softer ingredients like hummus or sauces at the bottom to act as a cushion for more solid elements like chicken or vegetables.
Roll Carefully: When you're rolling your wrap, make sure to tuck in the sides and roll as tightly as possible without squeezing the ingredients out.
Emergency Fix: In a pinch, if your wrap does break, you can always turn it into a delightful and still-delicious salad bowl!
